eng Abstract:
Metaphors offer a great way to understand new concepts. In this essay, we introduce several metaphors by prominent AI luminaries that have recently appeared in the media and are used to enlighten the concept of AI in general and LLMs in particular. None of these metaphors completely captures the essence of the notion at hand, but each illuminates some aspects. It is hoped that the union of all intuitions behind all these metaphors will result in an original mental image leading to a new apprehension and appreciation of the respective technologies and their potential. In the accompanying talk, we will discuss the weak and strong points of the individual metaphors.
