Comparing human & animal neural parameters to LLMs or AI
When comparing the neural parameters of biological organisms like parrots, dogs, and octopuses to AI language models (LLMs), there are several interesting points to consider: 1. Neuron Count vs. Parameters: - Parrots: Parrots have about 1-2 billion neurons in their brains. They are known for their ability to mimic human speech and demonstrate complex behaviors and problem-solving abilities. - Dogs: Dogs have around 500 million to 2 billion neurons, depending on the breed. They show advanced social behaviors, problem-solving skills, and can understand human emotions to some extent. - Octopuses: Octopuses have about 500 million neurons, with a significant portion distributed in their arms. They exhibit remarkable problem-solving abilities, use tools, and have complex behaviors. 2. AI Language Models (LLMs): - Parameters: Modern large language models like GPT-4 have hundreds of billions of parameters. For example, GPT-3 has 175 bill...
