Does anyone here think this will change without a full cognitive apparatus? Aka “agents”, to use the modern term? I have my doubts, but I’m relatively uninformed about the cutting edge of pure ML itself.
Just off the top of my head, maybe a RLHF run performed by academic experts and geared towards “creative applications” could get us farther than we are? Given how much the original RLHF run cost with underpaid workers in developing countries that might be exorbitantly expensive, but it’s worth a dream. Perhaps as a governmental or NGO-driven open source initiative…
Of course, a core problem here is defining “creativity” in stringent — or in Chomsky’s words, “scientific” — terms. RLHF dodged that a bit by leaning on the intuitive capabilities of your human critics. I’m constantly opining about how LLMs solved the frame problem, but perhaps it’s better characterized as a partial solution for a relatively easy/basic environment: stories about the real world. The Abstract/Academic/Scientific Frame Problem might be another breakthrough away, yet…
