Submission Statement

OpenAI has been hinting at a big leap forward for LLMs with its upcoming release of its GPT-4. We'll see. In the meantime, it's extraordinary watching some people defend Galactica. They are convinced it's the beginning of an emergent form of reasoning intelligence. Its severe limitation, as with all LLMs, is that they frequently produce utter nonsense, and have no way of telling the difference between nonsense and reality.

I'll be curious to see if GPT-4 has acquired even the rudiments of reasoning ability. I'm sure AI will acquire this ability at some point. But it seems strange to blindly believe one particular approach will make it happen, when there is no evidence of it at present.
