There is something very foundational about large language models (LLMs). It would seem that in the history of human intelligence we have found ways to translate almost any task that we can do into language. Perhaps this is so we can communicate with others, but perhaps it is to provide a means with which to think.
People have said that how our minds need a language much like a computer needs a language to operate but as I write that now I’m wondering if we can no longer say that’s the case?
Neural networks operate credibly well and they do so out using a language.
Perhaps the purpose of our minds having a language is not so that the programming of our mind can run, but so that the separate “programs” or consciousnesses within our mind can communicate with each other within our self.
It’s perhaps through this ability to self reflect an self evaluate that we achieve higher levels of consciousness.
