An LLM knows every work of Shakespeare but can’t say which it read first. In this material sense a model hasn’t read at all. To read is to think. Only at inference is there space for serendipitous inspiration, which is why LLMs have so little of it to show for all they’ve seen.

Schmidhuber Plagiarism Accusation and Academic Integrity in AI
By
–
I would prefer not to keep doing this, but Schmidhuber made a post accusing me of plagiarism yesterday. There’s no academic court where I can be tried and found guilty/ not guilty once and for all, though the opinion of the NeurIPS organizers should be clear.
