I’m no expert on AI, language, or human evolution, but I am a big stinky nerd. I wonder if perhaps the ability to reason to this extent arose from the development of language? Like, maybe as the beginnings of language began to develop, so did reasoning. In my mind, it would make sense that as an AI is trained on language, it could inherently build the capability to reason as well.
Again though, I ain’t got a damn clue, just chatting.
Edit: I haven’t read the paper yet so that could be important. Nobody said anything about that but I thought it important to mention haha
Oh it's definitely a big part of it. Look sappir-whoff (sp?) Hypothesis. It's rather fascinating how peoe who think in different languages seem to reason and logic differently. Perspective of the world also changes. People who know multiple languages well will often think in certain languages based on the problem to be solved or experienced.
That’s really interesting. That’s pretty much what I was thinking. Abstract thought relies on language just as much as language relies on abstract thought. I wouldn’t be surprised if they evolved together simultaneously. As abstract thought evolved, language had to catch up to express those thoughts, which allowed more advanced abstract though to build, so on and so forth.
Again though, I really have no idea what I’m talking about
