Yann LeCun kicking off the debate with a bold prediction: nobody in their right mind will use autoregressive models 5 years from now #phildeeplearning
@ylecun closing his presentation with some conjectures #phildeeplearning
Ellie Pavlick @BrownCSDept leading the charge on the "No" side!
Ellie's conclusions #phildeeplearning
@LakeBrenden opts instead for a qualified "yes" on the general question, and a strong "yes" on the more specific question – Do LLMs need sensory grounding to understand words as people do?
@LakeBrenden's conclusions #phildeeplearning
Next up: @davidchalmers42 starting his talk on the "Yes" side with a bit of philosophical history about the grounding problem
Dave's answer: "No, but – it's complicated" #phildeeplearning
Next, @Jake_Browning00 also starting off with a bit of history #phildeeplearning
Our final speaker before the discussion: @glupyan starting with the results of his recent survey #phildeeplearning
Conclusion slide from @glupyan
And now for the discussion! Let's find out if out speakers can meet somewhere in the middle #phildeeplearning
Correction: that was of course the "No" side (as in: LLMs don't need sensory grounding for understanding)
