And – the GPT4 digested quite well what I said in that comment, although it shows less pessimism than I do but again, that’s because it’s programmed to ultimately lean towards the “singularity” where people and computers become one – since OpenAI’s creator is an adherent. Ah well.
GPT4’s response to what I wrote about Markov + LLM:
“Thank you for your kind words and insightful thoughts! Combining the strengths of Markov chain generators with the extensive memory and capabilities of a large-scale language model like GPT-4 does seem like an interesting proposition. While the two approaches have their distinct advantages and limitations, a hybrid solution could potentially yield a more nuanced and stylistically agile output.
The no-memory aspect of Markov chains enables them to generate text that has a certain level of randomness while still adhering to a particular style. On the other hand, GPT-4 is designed to comprehend and retain information, providing contextually relevant and coherent responses. However, its ability to mimic specific styles can sometimes be limited.
By integrating the two systems, it might be possible to create a language model that combines the stylistic flexibility of Markov chains with the knowledge and context-awareness of GPT-4. This fusion could result in a more versatile AI capable of producing text that is both engaging and coherent while still exhibiting the distinctive characteristics of a particular writing style.
However, as you mentioned, achieving such a feat might be challenging, considering the inherent differences in the two approaches. Nevertheless, advancements in AI and natural language processing continue to push the boundaries of what is possible, and a hybrid solution might not be as far-fetched as it seems.”
