While LLMs can generate human-like responses and perform impressive tasks, they do not possess true understanding of language like humans do. <\/p>\n<p>2. LLMs show &#8220;jagged intelligence&#8221; &#8211; they excel at some tasks but fail at similar tasks, indicating a lack of generalization.<\/p>\n<p>3. The inconsistent performance of LLMs is due to the limitations of neural networks that train on predicting the next word in a sequence, rather than understanding meaning and context like humans.<\/p>\n<p>4. Evaluating LLMs through benchmarks can oversell their real-world capabilities due to issues like data contamination and brittleness against variations.<\/p>\n<p>5. Conceptualizing LLMs as intelligent agents shapes our approach to regulating and interacting with them, but this metaphor does not reflect their true nature as cultural and social technologies.<\/p>\n<p>6. Understanding the true nature, capabilities, and risks of LLMs is a formidable challenge, as is determining how society wishes to deploy and regulate this transformative technology.<br \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Yale Review | Melanie Mitchell: What We Get Wrong About AI https:\/\/yalereview.org\/article\/melanie-mitchell-jagged-intelligence Publish Date:&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":227726,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/d181q449nqu6en.cloudfront.net\/content\/craft\/website-assets\/seo_mitchell_blueprint.png","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[14],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-227725","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-artificial-intelligence"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/227725"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=227725"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/227725\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":227727,"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/227725\/revisions\/227727"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/227726"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=227725"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=227725"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=227725"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
