It feels very humbling that here is one of the smartest humans on the planet asking questions, and the LLM keeps answering in this "Yes, it's really simple if you think about it" way, like a professor talking to a talented student.
I had a similar reaction with the language but also response times and language. It reminded me of a quote about Jon von Neumann from Edward Teller:
"Von Neumann would carry on a conversation with my 3-year-old son, and the two of them would talk as equals, and I sometimes wondered if he used the same principle when he talked to the rest of us."
Von Neumann is an interesting historical character that nobody has ever heard of, e.g: for such an accomplished inventor, that so few minutes of video footage exist of him.
>I sometimes wondered if he used the same principle when he talked to the rest of us.
I can come pretty close to a humbler example of this, as the more-extroverted "bad twin," of an identical set: my own genetic equal is bored to tears interacting with 90% of daily interactions... we both started with good brains/IQ, then went to the same college; but while twin spent the next decades solving EE problems (and co-founding startups), I "kicked back" and smoked myself sillyretarded, electricianing, relying upon bullshit and sheer luck to get to where I [barely maintain] am.
Watching my twin deal with any normal-intelligence persons is such an unpredictable shitshow, but I pretty much always know he's "dealing with us toddlers" who mostly never grew up. His patience is limited but willing.
Glad he can get by among us mere mortals. I have other similarly-minded brothers, but only this one identical twin.
What? Every CS grad learns of Von Neumman architecture and by extension of the man himself, at least I recall doing so, in much the same way as Turing and Church.
Ours has been exceptionally unique sets of experiences.
One of my lifelong goals is to publish something witty about my perceptions on the nature vs nurture debate, given that I have both a genetic clone (i.e. same DNA)... but we're also the result of a late-split zygote, which resulted in us developing as mirror images (using the same genetic code).
Motivation for my writing this is lacking, most likely due to decades of my very different life choices and experiences (see my previous comment). Were Twin's volition driving this article's composition (and eventual publication), it would have been done over a decade ago =D
