Because certain aspects (both are error prone) are similar and comparable. The notion that two entities need to be close in abilities for it to be possible to compare them is nonsense.

You make the point for me: We managed to put men on the moon despite humans being enormously unreliable and error prone, because we built system around them that allowed for harnessing the good bits and reducing the failures to acceptable levels.

We are - I am anyway - using our lessons from building reliable systems from unreliable elements to raise the reliability of outputs of LLMs the same way.

:) :) :) I could tell immediately you are somehow vested in the "success" of the LLM. So 600 B dollars and five years later, can you tell me how far did you guys get? Apollo programme costed a tiny fraction of that and started putting people on the moon some ~10 years later. Would you say that you are on the way to accomplish something similar in the next five years?


I wish I had used 600B. I've spent a few thousand, and my efforts are very much profitable and earning me a substantial living right now.


So you spent a few thousand and now you are the next Ada Lovelace?


No, I spent a thousand and now my profit margins are higher.


Remind me again how does that compare to landing someone on the moon ? Which is what you were implying earlier?


I have never in my life implied anything I've done compares to landing someone on the moon.

You're struggling with basic reading comprehension if you think so.


Cute ;) why don't ypu re-read again what you wrote in response to my comment ? But dont ask the LLM to summarise it for you.


I know exactly what I wrote. Clearly you didn't understand it. Maybe you ought to get an LLM to explain it to you.


Mate you literally said you are applying the lessons from Apollo programme to do...whatever it is you are doing.

Calm down. They were comparing a very specific and narrow aspect of both. Not totally equivalent maybe, but that doesn't justify a tantrum.


I am incredibly calm. I just wonder at the idiots who think they should compare the magnificiently efficient human brain to the shitslop machines.
