We have been seeing all this hype around large language models and how they will contribute to the #AI revolution. Everybody is Gaga over these models. But we have to answer this question.
If language is the basis for human intelligence, does it make sense to pass on the development of language to machines?
Intelligence and language feed each other and invention of new terms helps us invent new things and vice versa. Passing the control of our language to machines is the complete surrender of humanity to machines, and the humans will never be okay with it.
What came first language or intelligence? Does language feed intelligence or intelligence feeds language or it's a circle like they feed each other. I believe it's a circle, defeat each other.
So if language is the basis of intelligence, which it seems like that it's the main ingredient. If language is key to intelligence and we let computers control our language.
Where does that leave us?

We have to understand the consequences of us, passing the control of the language to the computers.
By the way, language doesn't mean it's English, It can be French, Japanes, you name it. Another related thing is that we used to learn computers language, which we actually humans created in order to talk to machines. like C++, Python and others, through those languages, we were able to talk to machines.
The whole idea behind #machinelearning and large language models for AI paradigm is that we want to get out of programming machines using those languages.
So there's no other language between us and machines. So in a way, we need to teach computers our language. So they understand us. What about their language, which they will create a new terminologies, which #GenerativeAI has started to create new terms. It looks like English but these are according to those systems. How will we understand those terms? because it's created by them. we understand our language because it's all created by us.
So will AI control our languages or intelligence?

1 年There is no reason to think GenAI will control language. And yes language and intelligence are one, but we humans have so many other forms of intelligence and corporeal intelligence. AI is a smart tool, not a creature.
