This is great stuff. If we can properly understand these “flows” of intelligence, we might be able to write optimized shortcuts for them, vastly improving performance.

Better yet, teach AI to write code replacing specific optimized AI networks. Then automatically profile and optimize and unit test!

How can i take an article that uses the word "anywho" seriously?

…Duh. 🤓

The math example in particular is very interesting, and makes me wonder if we could splice a calculator into the model, basically doing "brain surgery" to short circuit the learned arithmetic process and replace it.

I think a lot of services are doing this behind the scenes already. Otherwise chatgpt would be getting basic arithmetic wrong a lot more considering the methods the article has shown it's using.

That math process for adding the two numbers - there's nothing wrong with it at all. Estimate the total and come up with a range. Determine exactly what the last digit is. In the example, there's only one number in the range with 5 as the last digit. That must be the answer. Hell, I might even use that same method in my own head.

The poetry example, people use that one often enough, too. Come up with a couple of words you would have fun rhyming, and build the lines around those words. Nothing wrong with that, either.

These two processes are closer to "thought" than I previously imagined.
