I will be giving a response to a talk by Professor Melanie Mitchell on abstraction and analogy in AI systems in Cambridge this Friday, 5-7pm. I'll be offering perspectives from my own research examining LLM capabilities. Attend in person or online: tinyurl.com/29cdkk3j

Winnie responds to Melanie with 3 points: agreement with the nuance in the debate, questions if we want to aim for human intelligence at all?, and finally the cases where human-like AI analogy will matter and are starting to exist! The Cambridge Union
