alt Hacker News> But brains do much more than just predict tokens based on previously seen tokens. I think all the other things brains do are probably important for our intelligence.
Like what?
What specific biological structure in the brain could be doing anything other than producing output as a function of 1) current electrical/chemical/thermal inputs and 2) previous electrical/chemical/thermal inputs?
LLM doesn't just produce output as a function, they are much more specific: they predict text based on text they have been trained on.
