Image Recognition
Consider the unedited transcript of a chat I’ve just had with Google’s LaMDA (Language Model for Dialog Applications):ME: Ramesh, Mateo, and Lucy are in their kindergarten’s playground. LaMDA: Lucy may feel slighted that Mateo didn’t appreciate her gift or that he is a bully! When I began having such exchanges with the latest generation of neural net-based language models last year, I felt the ground shift under my feet. Neural language models aren’t long programs; you could scroll through the code in a few seconds.
