Description

Large attentional transformers like ChatGPT generate text that seems surprisingly human-like. On this episode Katie and Patrick ask which bits of the brain work like large language models, which bits AI still hasn't figured out, and whether the difference can explain why robots can't count the vowels in a strawberry.
