Comment on It's not just statistics: GPT-4 does reasonparent

Comments

Despite reason being a metaphysical property of the training data, the process of optimisation means weights are metaphysically reasonless.

Proof? Human reasoning somehow manages to retain its metaphysical reasoning-ness despite being processed as a bunch of mere electrical signals in the brain.

No true human reasons with mere electrical signals!

Yeah, sure, there's also a chemical component to it. Doesn't matter for GP's point, though.
