It can be regarded as a follow-up to my 2015\u20132016 project \u201cThe Listed Words and Fragmented Meanings.\u201d<br>That earlier work attempted to show whether a machine could think, using an LSTM model trained on nine books written by science philosophers and engineering theorists. Naturally, errors and failures were anticipated, and the machine ultimately failed to replicate human thought or generate coherent sentences. Instead, it produced disassembled fragments of language\u2014demonstrating its limits.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It has now been 10 years since that earlier work. With the advancement of LLMs, I now believe machines may be capable of thought\u2014or at least of convincingly imitating human thinking. Through this new project, I want to raise meaningful questions about how we humans might coexist with thinking machines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\ubcf8 \uc791\ud488\uc740
