Terrence Sejnowski argues that the new AI super chatbots are like a magic Harry
Potter mirror that tells the user what he wants to hear: "When people discover
the mirror, it seems to provide truth and understanding. But it does not. It
shows the deep-seated desires of anyone who stares into it". ChatGPT, LaMDA,
LLaMA and other large language models would "take in our words and reflect them
back to
us".https://www.nytimes.com/2023/02/26/technology/ai-chatbot-information-truth.htmlIt
is true that large language models have absorbed unimaginably huge amount of
texts, but what if our prefrontal cortex in the brain works in the same way?

think it is possible that the "transformer" architecture is so successful
because it is - like the cortical columns in the neocortex - a modular solution
for the problem what comes next in an unpredictable
