📝 Ephemeral Notes

  • There has been a dichotomy of approaches to AI: Statistical approach and Symbolic approach
    • The statistical approach is what is used by ChatGPT
      • It pulls patterns from the training data and uses it to generate very “human” like texts
      • However, it doesn’t mean the output is correct it is just statistically possible
    • The symbolic approach is what is used by Wolfram Alpha
      • It converts natural language into precise computation language and applies algorithm or built-in knowledge to solve it
    • The statistical approach is very poor at handling math
      • It can also appear correct because it can give a plausible explanation that sounds correct but is actually wrong
      • Or when not understanding the underlying facts can lead to wrong answers
    • Can one train a big enough neural network to do anything?
      • Fundamental facts about computation (computational irreducibility) makes it clear that this is not possible
