“When I say ‘I am hungry’, I am reporting on my sensed physiological states. When an LLM generates the sequence ‘I am hungry’, it is simply generating the most probable completion of the sequence of words in its current prompt.”

The neural networks used in machine learning are loosely based on how the human brain works. As if the human brain was the only intelligence worth using to think up technologies.
I'm building an #AI with a linked database structure based on a lichen's symbiotic being. Why? Who knows...I guess I just want to try. I like the possibility of magic.

Paraphrasing Andrew Adamatzky: if we can understand the language of other living creatures, we can understand ourselves better.

*Current so-called #AI systems are built using 'neural nets', imitating the human brain. This project learns from prothallus, areole and thallus, considering intelligence from a species where a border is a connection, not a division.*
