LLMs Struggle With New Knowledge Understanding and Association
By
–
5/ LLMs Meet New Knowledge – presents a benchmark to assess LLMs' abilities in knowledge understanding, differentiation, & association; benchmark results show (unsurprisingly) that an LLM’s performance when introduced to new knowledge is not satisfactory.

Knowledge Versus Intelligence: Why LLMs Differ From Human Cognition
By
–
No human brain contains as much knowledge as Wikipedia.
But that doesn't make Wikipedia smart.
An LLM that could correctly answer any question whose answer is in Wkipedia would have more knowledge than any human.
But it still would not be nearly as smart as humans. -
Auto-Regressive LLMs: Dumb Yet Knowledgeable and Useful
By
–
My views on how useful Auto-Regressive LLMs can be has not changed.
I've said numerous times that they are dumb and unreliable, yet knowledgeable and useful.
