First, a large language model isn't an AI in the sense of having a good representation of what it is talking about. Words are assigned strings of numbers, vectors, that do correlate to the word's usage. So that king minus male will bring you to a similar vector as queen minus female. And GPT has a system for using context to distinguish the uses of the word "flies" in

In any case, I would say that a LLM simulates intelligence, and calling it SI would be more honest. (If harder to fund.) The kind of AI where you would have to wonder if you should say "that" or "whom" is now re-branded Artificial General Intelligence (AGI). Me, I think "SI" vs "AI" would be more honest.<br /><br />

In that a LLM isn't modeling concepts, it is doing something else which results in something we think of as intelligent.

Third is what you did, telling it things in prompts. This information isn't stored at all.

Second, I would look at <em>posqim</em> who take <em>Siyata diShmaya</em> (heavenly assistance) as a part of <em>pesaq</em> seriously. Those who take theoretical questions as less authoritative than practial, <em>lemaaseh</em>, ones. One could say a GPT doesn't get such <em>Siyata diShmaya</em>, or one could say that given its indeterminism (if the "temperature" setting is above 0.0) it could be an ideal vehicle for such <em>siyata</em>!<br /><br />

Information given in the prompts or even in an external database won't change how it puts one word after the other. You are just giving it a "what". The "how" is only during training.<br /><br />

So, if we wanted to feed Bar Ilan into a GPT in a database, it would still be emulating someone who doesn't think like a poseiq but does have access to a database.<br /><br />

If we want to simulate someone who was <em>meshameish talmidei chakhamim</em> (apprenticed under accomplished rabbis) the way the <em>gemara</em> requires of a rabbi, we would need to train a GPT from scratch on <em>teshuvos</em> and some <em>sefarim</em> of <em>lomdus</em> and <em>sevara</em>.

But I still think one would need a Jewish adult, who has the requisite knowing-how-to-think (and not just a simulation) to review and approve the results for it to be a real "<em>pesaq</em>". And IMHO, a male one.<br /><br />
