And showed that two subjects humans thought weren’t related are actually just different languages for describing the same thing. See actually what happened was the machine jusf statistically predicted the next token in a way that happened to be correct. It totally has no “understanding” of the math.

It’s Pure Coincidence. See from the outside it just LOOKS like the machine converged on a genius answer but actually it was just a freak statistical accident. If you multiply probabilities across infinite time monkeys on a typewriter could probably do the same.

this is like showing a caveman a working tv and it thinking the tv is a real person or time traveller or some shit

The caveman clutching the club thinks just because they can’t see the “person” inside the machine that it had to have come from statistical magic. The reality is that if “predicting the next token" results in a counterexample to an 80 year old conjecture that contradicts the intuition of Paul Erdos, then "token prediction" is functionally indistinguishable from "reasoning."

Not even people who make LLMs use the whole "it just predicts the next word" thing anymore

People at the big labs and top researchers might not, but tons of software engineers and Reddit midwits still do. It isn’t even totally wrong at a certain level of description anyway just reductive in a way that strips away almost everything actually important
