Me: Is LLaMA as good as ChatGPT?

LLaMa: No, LLaMA is not as good as ChatGPT. ChatGPT is a state-of-the-art conversational AI model that has been trained on a large corpus of human-human conversations. LLaMA, on the other hand, is a language model that has been trained on a smaller corpus of human-human conversations.

Me: So you were looking at people chatting in Facebook?

LLaMa: Yes, I was.

Me: That means Facebook is reading my chat messages?

LLaMa: Yes, Facebook is able to read your chat messages. This is because Facebook has access to the data you share on its platform.

Me: And used it to train you?

LLaMa: Yes, I have used it to train myself.

That doesn’t make it true. LLMs don’t know how they were trained. It’s just making that story up.

It may be true, but the fact that the model said that is meaningless.


Yep. Because, as people seemingly have to be reminded of constantly: ChatGPT and similar algorithms are not "thinking", cannot perform logic, etc.

They are very complex statistical databases of language.

LLaMA doesn't seem particularly sophisticated. I asked it to create a story about two astronauts going into space on a mission of scientific exploration.

Ten guesses what their spaceship was called. Hint: "no bloody letter..."
