"The problem is that according to current neuroscience, human thinking is largely independent of human language -- and we have little reason to believe ever more sophisticated modeling of language will create a form of intelligence that meets or surpasses our own..."
Complete bullshit:
"according to current neuroscience, human thinking is largely independent of human language"
False, but so what? LLMs are "largely independent of human language" as well.
"...and we have little reason to believe ever more sophisticated modeling of language will create a form of intelligence that meets or surpasses our own..."
But LLMs are not about "ever more sophisticated modeling of language", or even modeling of language at all. This guy is a fool, there are plenty of here, including me, that are highly skeptical of most AI claims, but this here is ignorant bullshit.
