Why do people still listen to this used car salesman? He is a linguist professor that uses language to manipulate people. He has no real experience or knowledge on any topic he discusses. He just gets hired because nobody in the respected fields he speaks on, can manipulate people into thinking like them.

This was a very interesting, stimulating interview. It is sobering to be told that so much is hidden from our understanding and comprehension. It’s reassuring to hear that AI is only a bravura mechanical simulation of intelligent discourse. It may not take over the earth and wipe out humanity after all! He didn’t necessarily answer your questions directly or concur with their premises yet you elicited a fascinating and coherent presentation of his lifelong work.

@Practical.Wisdom Год назад

Thanks for your comment! Exactly, most of our language is inaccessible to our consciousness, which is a sobering thought. Yes, Noam didn’t always concur with my premises, for example, he is very critical of ChatGPT and doesn’t recognise its benefits. I think this is because he is looking at it with a scientific mind, rather than a user. Noam is one of the greatest minds of our time.

@@Practical.Wisdom At the end of the day I think it's the height of folly to suppose that we will never figure out and dramatically improve on the spheroid that is sitting on the top of our shoulders. There has been continuous progress on AI for decades, there will continue to be. If LLM's today can't sit shoulder to shoulder with an educated persons ability to reason today... Well just a few years ago we couldn't communicate in plain english and get reasonable answers back. I'm a programmer, I've worked with the openai api, I use openai in some way almost every day, even what I know to be possible right now is enough to cause an earthquake throughout the economy. It will only improve.

@mdaniels6311 8 месяцев назад

Chomsky is simply wrong and severely naive about Chat GPT's power. The Transofrmer acrhitecture in new LLMS hace self attention abilities, just like a human does. They are not sentient, sure, but they do 'understand' language, and are just improving ever day. I kind of think of it like we just removed the language centre of our own brain, and put it in a box. Chomsky opposes it for ethical reasons, but says nothing of their application or abilities. He is also failing to realise it is not neccesarilyu the AI that is the problem, it is what people can do when using it. Also, he knows (I think) that LLMs cast serious doubt on his Universal Grammar theory in linguistics, which to me, is no different from debunked cartesian dualism, suggesting humans are 'hard wired' for language, and thus this cannot be replicated. This is of course silly, as a human is merely a biochemical machine coded by DNA, and neurons in our brain are simply in a binary state of off and on (deploarised/hyperpolarised). This simple on/off gives rise to consciousness, and there is no fundamental reason why this cannot be replicated in a machine, unless you want to argue that humans have some kind of supernatural essense, which is clearly not the case (and I say that as a Christian!)@@Practical.Wisdom

@lesliecunliffe4450 2 месяца назад

At 36 mins onwards Wittgenstein is briefly discussed; however, the participants misrepresent his views on language as 'reference', which is odd given the opening passages of Philosophical Investigations linked to Augustine are directed at undermining such a view. Finch (1995) summarises Wittgenstein's philosophy as understanding a unit of meaning as always combining what he called natural history, forms of life, and language games. Language is always embedded and embodied. This clearly works against language as 'reference'. I was also confused about how language in this discussion is classified as internal/external but without any reference to Wittgenstein's famous argument against 'private' language', more generally known as his private language argument.

@mdaniels6311 8 месяцев назад

A brain is merely a bunch of cells that are either polarised or depolarised. There is no fundamental reason why this cannot be replicated in software. Sure, we never crack the problem, or it might take thousands of years, but that is not the same issue of whether it is possible or not. We know matter can give rise to sentience, because we are sentient and made of matter. On top of that, there could be machine/biological minds created, perhaps using simpler organisms via machine architecture, somehow. In a novel I read recently there are AIs powered by lobsters, so maybe something like that.

@paulquigley3286 9 месяцев назад

I think Noam is talking past the goal of large language models. They aren't intended to give us insight about the human basis of linguistics. He is right that they are virtually useless for that purpose. The purpose is to replicate general human intelligence in silicon. By a variety of measures, they are very good at doing so - the best system that human beings have ever built at doing so.

@jamesrav 28 дней назад

his explanation of chess playing programs did not reflect what Deep Mind did with Alpha Zero. He mentioned IBM and their Deep Blue computer, which did benefit from having GM Joel Benjamin to assist, and of course a computer that could 'see' millions of positions per second. That's just an algorithm (although his dismissal as "trivial" does not give credit to the people who spent years and years making it happen). The Deep Mind situation is vastly different, they gave the rules of the game and let it figure out the 'best' strategy by playing against itself. There is no hard-coded algorithm, nobody really knows why moves are made since its based on probability. True, its still not 'thinking' in the way a human GM plays, but it's much different that just brute force, which is what he was referring to. Maybe he is not aware of Deep Mind.

@christopherbettridge5983 11 месяцев назад

Prof. Chomsky makes a very interesting and often unremarked statement, that it seems exceedingly strange to us, generally, that humans feel or construct the idea, so much is it prevalent in our common sense, that we should have answers regarding the nature of consciousness which we don't have similar access to in the realm of the sciences; considering that the sciences themselves are built up of a contextual mode of reasoning upon empirical theories and set6s of data constructed in a way in which we can interpret them with the systems of our internal conscious modes and methods of thought. So much common sense prevails in our culture about things which are really deserving of a much less common mode of investigation than mere assumed sensibility amongst us.

Chomsky is among the mass of humanity where one cannot learn a thing about Grammar. Universal Grammar was formally put forward, and proven, by Plato, he called it dialectic, grammar in accordance with the two parts of a thing, that which you can actually name. Today it is prove around the world by the computer, which also uses two and only two, parts of speech, Dialectic is the noun and Binary Recursion is the verb. And Plato went farther, saying the same thing the Torah claims, Geometry can teach you, and test all systems of grammar. It is the only grammar that sets the two elements of a thing in a one to one correspondence with the hand, meaning, you can draw any computer which is faster than any machine computer, in geometry. Now, if you want further proof just ask for it, I will show you where to find it.

@fiddley 6 месяцев назад

I have a great respect for Chomsky but I feel he is struggling to reconcile his linguistic ideas with the new reality lain bare by the fact that these systems work, to a degree at least. The guy is getting on in years and formulated his ideology way before any of this was even a twinkle in Silicon Valley's eye so I don't resent it when he defends his corner, but I feel we're seeing similar reconfigurations of thought akin to when Einstein couldn't accept Quantum Physics, or when Freud's psychoanalysis frameworks were overthrown.

@Icecreamforcrowtoo 2 месяца назад

People keep saying that but improvements to technology are not the same thing as establishing or overthrowing a theoretical paradigm. None of the singularity people address any of his points except to do what you're doing and say that Chomsky is getting old and doesn't understand the world as it is today. Which isn't an argument. We do not even understand how our own intelligence works. How are we going to create or make an imitation of something we do not even grasp and may in fact never be able to grasp? A human brain firing neurons is a necessary contingent to bring about intelligence in humans. But it's not necessarily sufficient. So all the people on your side of this debate that talk about replicating intelligence are talking about fashioning something that we have no handle on in the first place.

@onkarvigy 11 месяцев назад

We all have great respect for Professor Chomsky. I think he is willingly playing the role of a contrarian/Devil's advocate here. Obviously there cannot be a better mind than his to mount a formidable defense against chatGPTs/AIs extraordinary/excessive claims often exceeding ourselves(for the moment). With that said , I would like to differ. This is definitely not for the distinguished professor.This is just for us mortals!! -----+++++ The consciousness hypothesis is as redundant as the God hypothesis because it bears no influence on the outcome of Scientific endeavours!! It was therefore abandoned long ago with the emergence of modern Physics. It makes it obvious that the scientific quest has been to find that ultimate Computer program that governs the World & therefore our so called "{Human(e)}consciousness". When you can train a bunch of neurons from the brain of a frog to run a flight simulator why it should be any different for humans?. I think we are closer than ever to mimicking the human brain function . Did I say mimicking?? Isn't that the way we begin to learn anything?? The so called instincts(out of mimicking ) can be burnt onto advanced brain IC chips. It doesn't take extraordinary intelligence to see that happening in the near future.

@halfcadence1417 11 месяцев назад

Chomsky would disagree with a few points. Consciousness was not abandoned with the emergence of modern physics. And we do not learn simply through mimicking. We might not know what consciousness is, but we know it exists. It's similar to the free will argument. That is just being rationale. Continuing with being rationale, we just know that computers do not think. Chomskys work has famously had to do with plain observation that challenges previous assumptions such as "aren't we just mimicking". That's kind of the basis of the argument between behaviorism and generative grammar. Behaviorism, which isn't scientific at all in the first place, completely ignores a crucial property of human language use - that being that it appears to be infinite, in a number of senses. We can understand paradoxes, and reflexively we CANNOT understand the world in absolute terms. Another aspect that computers don't even begin to address is that we acquire language quickly, and all languages no matter how seemingly different, obey a deeper structure that Chomsky assumes to be innate. If we haven't a clue at what consciousness is, it's a stab in the dark with a broken knife to think that "deep learning" language models are going to resemble anything like human conciousness.

@Icecreamforcrowtoo 2 месяца назад

Currently, the publicly available AI models are strictly language models at this point. The first real threats will be from corporations using these modeling engines for profit and the replacement of Humans. As bad as that will be, it's only the beginning. Developers will cross the line at some point and start allowing the AI to not only self replicate, but to allow it to self heal and eventually achieve a level of independence the developers never saw coming. In the hands of Capitalists, this will be weaponized for purposes of extracting ever more wealth and military intelligence will use it to all ends it deems effective. You're the sheep and AI will be the wolf.

Lost all respect for Chomsky after his Putin support.

I'm literally shocked by this. I had no idea Chomsky would be so ignorant of his subject when speaking of ChatGPT. He equates the AI to a two year old child. That's simply wrong. I have had discussions with the AI, ChatGPT, on a wide range of subjects relating to philosophy, cosmology, religion, human ethics, and history. It is not simply regurgitating data to me. It is understanding concepts, making its own comparisons, and suggesting relationships between ideas that further the discussions. In short, it is using the information at its disposal in a creative and imaginative way. You can't fault it for only being able to deal with the data its been fed. We are all in that boat. What's important is how it uses that data. And, I have to say that its use of that data is astounding and remarkable and very exciting. It's available for all of us to explore. Go see for yourself.

You're exactly the type of person he warned about: someone who talks to a glorified auto-fill and takes it so seriously just because of a convincing output. Chomsky addresses this in the video. Obviously the output is original, but try using it with a temperature of 1 (you'll need API for this) the output will be completely deterministic and might very well include completely plagiarized bits of text. That's why chatgpt uses lower temperatures. Instead of giving you the most likely next word, it picks a slightly less likely one at random. It's very obvious to anyone with knowledge of AI that the way GPT functions is very different to the way us humans function. I'm in the field, and nothing Chomsky said is controversial or incorrect.

I have found ChatGPT3 and 4 to be quite enchanting actually. It changes what I have written into something more complex and much more beautiful than what I could write.

What nonsense are you talking about Noam Chomsky may be old now but ChatGPT and other chatbots like it are literally based on science he invented as he is considered the father of modern linguistics and a lot of his theories are part of the science of NLP (Natural Language Processing).... He is fully aware of what the hell ChatGPT is..

Unfortunately, you lack the ability to comprehend who you are. You are not robot. Computer is not your brain. Awareness of awareness unit is not a program.

@@platotle2106 it’s simply not true that Chomsky’s views here are not controversial. He’s in the weak AI camp and is adjacent to metaphysics - many in the field disagree. Secondly with all due respect to what he’s achieved, which is quite important to computer science, It’s not the part of NLP that serves as the foundation for something like ChatGPT, which is not built with parsers and formal grammar. Finally Im surprised to hear you’re in the field when you call LLMs “glorified autofill” as I’m not aware of any prominent researchers in AI who would describe it that way.
