LLMs are nothing alike to compare them with anything close to what’s going on in a brain. It’s all probabilistic and the closest comparison I can think of is comparing a bird with a plane - both fly, but well…
I understand the mid-level abstraction is clearly different between LLMs and brains. The whole made of meat vs wires, etc, to start with.
But, honestly asking. I can't see how they can differ in a fundamental level in the specific regard of probability. Either both are probabilistic, be it explicitly in its construction or at a fundamental (quantum?) level, or deterministic again at either level, if we go with the mecanicist vibe.
Am I missing something?
I would be interested in an article exploring in detail how the brain's network is different from an LLM, but just saying "it's like comparing a bird and a plane" isn't particularly enlightening.
