Interesting article, but that comment veers into speculation. Speculation diminishes the value of a scientific article.
Blows my mind that so many people just have this hardened internalized idea that we're somehow significantly different than any other animal.
Sure, we've got them beat on language and planning, but we're currently in the process of being passed up on both those fronts by multi-dimensional arrays of floating point numbers sitting inside of sand. So, like, how special is that then, really?
> do you feel like LLMs are specifically getting better at planning?
When harnessed, yes. They still stuck at it, but they are getting significantly better over a relatively short time.
And you don't have to look very far in any direction economically or politically to wonder if humans are really as good at planning as we like to think. Because a lot of things we are responsible for aren't going very well.
They can pretend to, of course, and use the language of grief, but if you can't feel the cold bottomless pit that has bored through your gut then you aren't really grieving.
