One of the decisive moments in my understanding of #LLMs and their limitations was when, last autumn, @emilymbender walked me through her Thai Library thought experiment.
She's now written it up as a Medium post, and you can read it here. The value comes from really pondering the question she poses, so take the time to think about it. What would YOU do in the situation she outlines?
@ct_bergstrom @emilymbender it would be useful to have a definition of “learning Thai” here. How will we know if an agent has learned Thai — is it when they can relate Thai words to pictures, past experiences, and words in other languages?
