So your logic is humans and LLMs are the same because humans are wrong sometimes?


Pretty much, yeah. Or rather, the fact that we're both reliably wrong in identifiably similar ways makes "we're more alike than different" an attractive prior to me.


“More alike than different” is reasonable I think, as long as we’re talking about how we have some of the same failure modes. Although the way we get there is quite different.

I’m still not a big fan of comparing humans and LLMs because LLMs lack so much of what actually makes us human. We might bullshit or be wrong because of many reasons that just don’t apply to LLMs.
