This phenomenon was discovered during WWII (language redundancy in command chain) and became one of the practical tasks that formed the information theory. All language statistic models that led to MIT ELIZA chatbot were funded to understand how to make cimmunication on the battlefield more effective. And it is true that a jargon covering the most used set of meanings and actions beats general languages in optimality. That's why programming languages exist as well.

If you read it again, it says “in grade school”. How early is too early? When does struggling to finish schoolwork become unnecessarily punishment?

As an adult, I use a mix of mental math and calculator use, and I find I am using a mix of composing text and idea generation with and without AI. Teach the concepts, then teach a better, more efficient way of doing things.

GPT-4 Salient Summmary:

[Post: r/singularity, Author: u/Lesterpaintstheworld, Topic: Semantically-compact representations, LLM internal language]

- Video: David Shapiro, Sparse Priming Representations, context priming for LLM performance

- High Source Compression Algorithm: remove stop words, shortest summary retaining meaning and context

- Observation: Prompt-chaining in Cognitive Architectures leads to semantically-denser text representations

- Speculation: Salient summaries, optimal language form for Cognitive Architectures?

- Example: AI-generated conversation demonstrates semantically-compact representation

- Question: Is this an efficient language for LLMs?

Nothing's stopping you from doing those. Just because you can 3D print a sculpture doesn't mean you can't carve one out yourself. Just because you can buy premade food doesn't mean you can't try cooking. Just because you can get veggies that are harvested by machines on a farm doesn't mean you can't try growing them in your house. Nothing's stopping you from enjoying the original process when there are easier alternatives, but getting rid of easier alternatives does stop lots of people's enjoyment for being stuck in the original process.

people say artists are gone etc, but doing a painting or taking a photo can be a pastime that is enjoyable and it doesnt matter if a machine can do it better, people still use their legs even though we can drive. people paint and draw and create besides the fact that its a career, i think people will still be creating art for a long time yet probably forever. i like to paint and draw im not going to stop because a machine can outmatch me in a sort mechanical way.

also can a machine create a unique or evolving style, the same way we have had new artists and styles through the centuries, these programs are good at copying, but what about innovating new styles from scratch, ie the way the impressionist movement organically grew. i think new styles are very dependant on something only humans with emotions can draw from and how we see the world around us. if we tell these programs create a new style, based on the world and philosophy and events of the time, can it create something new and fresh and relevant, and does it even understand the concept of style.

would you rather have a sketch your kid did on the fridge door or ask a machine to give you one that resembles somethings your kid would did.
