Part of me thinks: I was trying to push on whether it has a world model or rather has just memorised loads of stuff on the internet and learned a bunch of heuristics for how to produce compelling internet-like text. For me, “world model” evokes some object that has a map-territory relationship with the world. It’s not clear to me that GPT-3 has that.
Another part of me thinks: I’m confused. It seems just as reasonable to claim that it obviously has a world model that’s just not very smart. I’m probably using bad concepts and should think about this more.
