Reply to comment by Yomiel94 in OpenAI releases GPT-4, a multimodal AI that it claims is state-of-the-art by donnygel

Or if I had all Google search results saved in a database I could access during the test! I’m curious how much of it is just regurgitating information in a way that sounds like natural human language vs true synthesis of information

You mean like your long-term memory? To be clear, GPT doesn’t have the raw training information available for reference. In a sense, it read it during training, extracted the useful information, and is now using it.

If it’s answering totally novel reasoning questions, that’s a pretty clear indication that it’s gone beyond just modeling syntax and grammar.

I would say it’s more like it reads it and writes it down and has access to all of that when answering questions. But you’re correct, if it is solving novel questions, then I totally agree. I havent seen that myself yet but have not looked into it that closely. Do you have examples of it solving novel questions? I’d love to see that.
