  @Nudhul @Diceyocean @NonPlayableClown @boomer @bot @eriner LLMs are extremely impressive considering that nothing they do understands objects, or causation, it mostly just works on word combinations. a thinking computer doesnt have to be conscious but it has to process information by forming concepts and objects and cause and effect

  @bot @Diceyocean @boomer @eriner @NonPlayableClown @Nudhul Bot, in university I took a load of philosophy courses with an emphasis on phenomenology. That is a question that is very hard to answer and a lot of the answers are verbose "we don't know"

  Right, I'm js that they do "understand" things even if its just word combinations and they do "understand" concepts and cause and effect. This reminds me of how ppl with no internal monologue are creepy af

  @bot @Diceyocean @boomer @eriner @NonPlayableClown @Nudhul you don't actually need natural language to reason, the voice you hear in your head while you work through problems is a secondary effect not a cause. probably. there is some feedback going on so it's not purely that, but we know from brain scans that your brain has something figured out before the part of your brain that creates inner monologue activates to explain it in natural language.

  i think the more easily you can explain something with clear and succinct language or analogies the better understood it is

  @Nudhul part of the problem of phenomenology is that there is no good analogy for describing internal perception, that is why philiosophers have to make up so many words to describe concepts but they feel rootless unless you consumed hundreds of pages of their writing like trying to wade through waist-deep wet sand.

  I don't think thats true, like just try thinking through something without language rn, but tbf its probably p complicated and depends on what you're doing. I have a feeling blacks are more likely to not have internal monologue, and also colonelj doesn't fwiw

  Epistemology 101 is that the map is not the territory. No matter how hard philosophers, mathematicians, etc try to create some theoretical framework, it will only ever be like a static 2d representation of a dynamic 3d object. Still useful for what it's worth, but not even remotely on the same plane of existence as the thing it's meant to describe.

  @bot @Diceyocean @boomer @eriner @NonPlayableClown @Nudhul if you actually need inner monologue to reason then people without inner monologue couldn't function as humans so think that's good evidence that position is wrong. however like I said it seems from brain scans that when presented with choices, your brain has made its final decision before your conscious part tells it to yourself.

  @Nudhul @eriner @Diceyocean @NonPlayableClown @boomer @bot when I was a kid I always wondered how come a computer couldn't be used to imitate a person's voice to say anything you want because I could do that in my head. (now they can with AI) it never occurred to me until right now that maybe everyone doesn't do that? I can play out conversations with people in my head and I hear them saying words in their voice in my head

  @bot @Diceyocean @boomer @NonPlayableClown @Nudhul @sun I don't know -- I don't have anything else to compare to. I sometimes speak things "aloud" (inaudible whisper, basically, just muscular articulation) sometimes and can "hear" myself, but usually I only do that if I'm working out something linguistically (as opposed to general "thinking").
  I certainly don't have voices in my heard narrating my life. I'm not sure if that's what it's like for others, but if it is, y'all are NPCs or some shit

  @eriner @bot @Diceyocean @boomer @NonPlayableClown @Nudhul I feel like a huge portion of human problems are intrinsically tied to language and some kind of language processing has to happen to work through them. I don't know if it has to be actually audible in an internal monologue or actual vocalization to do that

  @Nudhul @eriner @Diceyocean @NonPlayableClown @boomer @bot @sun it’s possible to read text without using your inner voice, you can try to force it but it’s probably uncomfortable because you are not used to it, your brain also does it passively without you knowing.
  
  Sometimes I catch myself thinking about a word or phrase only to realize that it is written somewhere in my field of vision but I hadn’t yet noticed consciously.

  @Nudhul @Diceyocean @NonPlayableClown @boomer @bot @eriner @sun it’s not a representation of sound, it has three components, sound, visual shape and meaning, and you can go from any of those directly to any other.

  I mean that's normal, I don't really need to think about what I'm going to say before I say it. I think its different with writing tho, do you ever go back and edit stuff you write? Its not really a narration of your life btw and I also do stuff without putting words to it. But just not using language at all is weird, most ppl do

  @bot @Diceyocean @boomer @NonPlayableClown @Nudhul @sun yeah, like I mentioned I subconsciously articulate vocalization muscles when performing some linguistic tasks, but I'm honestly not sure if that happens *before* or *after* I've already processed it and have committed to writing it. I think it happens after.

  I can effortlessly spin objects I've seen around in my head as if it's a CAD model. There's a caveat, in that I can't do that with things I haven't seen. For example, I can easily visualize and manipulate a granny smith apple. But if you asked me to do the same for a purple apple with a glowing pink stem, I can't without significant effort.
  That said, I don't picture things in my head unless what I'm thinking about is mechanical.
