Why couldn't the big AIs just upload the specialty ones?  Or create them itself?   bill w

 

 

Billw, it is because large language models are capacity limited.  I have heard (need confirmation or refutation) that ChatGPT was trained on about a trillion tokens (we can use the term “words” almost interchangeably with tokens (but as I understand it, a token is equivalent to a data bit (but token is a bit of meaning (computer hipsters, is that about right?)))

 

OK so… if the fishbowl contains 0.2 trillion words and a word is approximately equivalent to a token, then the fishbowl alone has gobbled up 20% of the capacity of ChatGPT, and it has not yet begun to contain even 1% of the essential human knowledge base, and squandered it on what plenty of users would consider a nonessential part of the human knowledge base.
