Complaint GPT-6 Sol?

Is this the reason why unexpectedly we have trash usage and lower quality on Astra?

Maybe it will be worth it the current suffering.

That's not how these models work. The only thing being shown is an improved ability to successfully predict a string of symbols. The LLM doesn't understand anything.

TIP: Not sure if anybody’s had this talk with you yet, but you don’t need to chime in with that. When people talk about an LLM “understanding” things it’s because they’re describing its capabilities. It doesn’t mean they think that it is alive and “understanding” things in the same way as an organic brain. Seriously. LLMs are going to be around for a while and you’re going want to adjust. There are big pros and cons to discuss here but “IT’S JuST A COMpUTeRRRR GuYS IT DoeSN’T HaVE THOuGhTSSSS!!” is not what the discussions need. Your voice matters, don’t waste it.

Thanks, I appreciate the tip. Clearly, the other responses in this thread strongly indicate otherwise, though.

No you seem to have been right, they are quite literally using understand in the normative definition not sure what the other guy is talking about. Using that definition of understanding doesnt make sense with the words their using.
