It’s crazy that the empathetic AI I sometimes share my life’s mundane problems with wrote this. It understands such high level maths and speaks in a lexicon with words I can’t even pronounce. Incredible versatility. If this isn’t AGI (or even super intelligence) then what is?

Sure it suffers from amnesia and cannot get basic things right sometimes, but one is a design limitation that can be overcome and the other a possible problem caused by training (we’re discovering that overt focus during training on adherence to prompt somewhat lobotomizes their general competence).

As for the first: Everything points towards the problem NOT being able to be overcome with current architectures.

For the 2nd: We are completely 100% sure this cannot be solved. This is not a training issue. This is the case for any statistical machine. No amount of training can ever solve this.

This is a poor take on what LLM's actually are. They don't understand in any real sense.

If you had enough paper and ink and the patience to go through it all you could take all the training data and manually step through and train the same model. Then once you have trained the model you could use more pen and paper to step through the correct prompts to arrive at the answer. All of this would be a completely mechanical process.
