GPT-4 Designed a Programming Language
quotation from the link:<p><pre><code>   &quot;LLMs in the GPT family have read every programming language in the world, billions of times. It&#x27;s been known for some time that these agents can write small snippets of code with some limited success. However, to my knowledge, none of these agents have ever been asked to make their own programming language. This type of task is a bit more complex, and requires a bit more creativity and foresight than much of the internet believes LLMs to have.

   Some folks on the internet tend to think lowly of LLMs as merely &quot;Stochastic Parrots&quot; -- simply &quot;remixers&quot; of old ideas. In a way, they&#x27;re right; but I&#x27;d argue that remixing is the fundamental force of creativity. Nothing comes from scratch.&quot;

This^^. Half the internet was in denial about how good LLMs are. I wonder why? Perhaps it&#x27;s the way humans act when confronted with a machine that can potentially replace much of what makes us special.<p>The advent of chatGPT had millions of people on the internet trying to downplay the intelligence of chatGPT by continuously trying to re-emphasize the things it gets wrong.<p>I think the people who claimed chatGPT was a stochastic parrot are now realizing that they were the ones that were part of a giant parade of parrots regurgitating the same old tired trope of LLMs being nothing but simple word generators. Well you guys were dead wrong, a simple iterative improvement on the same algorithm pretty much ironed out a lot of the issues.<p>I&#x27;m guessing that at GPT-10 or 11 we&#x27;ll have produced something that when compared with humans, humans will be the things that are far more parrot-like.
