Yeah, I've been beating this drum for a while [0]: 1. The LLM is a nameless ego-less document-extender. 2. Humans are reading a story document and seeing words/actions written for fictional characters. 3. We fall for an illusion (esp. since it's an interactive story) and assume the fictional-character and the real-world author are one and the same: "Why did it decide to say that?" 4. Someone implements "chain of thought" by tweaking the story type so that it is film noir. Now the documents have internal dialogue, in the same way they already had spoken lines or actions from before. 5. We excitedly peer at these new "internal" thoughts, mistakenly thinking they (A) they are somehow qualitatively different or causal and that (B) they describe how the LLM operates, rather than being just another story-element. | ||
