Machine intuition is super useful as magical duct tape!

· Bits and Bobs 4/22/24

These are machine intuition but we use them for machine reasoning.

LLMs seem like they're reasoning, but it's really just absurdly good intuition and pattern matching.

It's a miracle that works at all as reasoning.

That's an indication of how insanely good they are at extracting implied patterns.

Then again, maybe that says more about us than we'd like to admit.

Maybe most of our reasoning is the LLM style good-enough vibes matching.

LLMS are great at vibing their way to something approximately correct for anything with a vaguely grammatical structure (of any complexity).
