People not only search a thought space, we have internal reasoning that does symbolic manipulations and sequential steps to get to a conclusion. Like, you would have no problem following a simple rule given to you ad infinity, while these models simply can’t take into account all that.


Computers can reason and do symbolic manipulation too (e.x. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computer_algebra).

There’s no reason to believe AGI will be composed of only language models. I suspect it will be a combination of multiple models and a lot of other software glued together in clever ways.


Yeah I know, but we are not that much closer to it contrary to the hype ChatGPT gets (which is well-deserved, but “we will loose our jobs” threads are not based in reality)
