Id wage they could not create much if they had no exposure to other art or music in the first place. creation does not come from nothing. composers and artists typically imitate, its very well known.
So where is the original guitar music that all the guitar players imitated? Can't have been created by a human since humans imitate and can't create new things, as you say, was it god who created it? Or was it always there?
Humans are really creative and create new stuff. Not sure why people try to say humans aren't.
I find the terminology is used inconsistently*, so it's probably always worth asking.
To me, a "large language model" is always going to mean "does text"; but the same architecture (transformer) could equally well be trained on any token sequence which may be sheet music or genes or whatever.
IIRC, transformers aren't so good for image generators, or continuums in general, they really do work best where "token" is the good representation.
* e.g., to me, if it's an AI and it's general then it's an AGI, so GPT-3.5 onwards counts; what OpenAI means when they say "AGI" is what I'd call "transformative AI"; there's plenty of people on this site who assert that it's not an AGI but whenever I've dug into the claims it seems they use "AGI" to mean what I'd call "ASI" ("S" for "superhuman"); and still others refuse to accept that LLMs are AI at all despite coming from AI research groups publishing AI papers in AI journals.
No. LLMs can take any type of data. Text is simply a string of symbols. Images, video and music are also a string of symbols. The model is the same algorithm just trained on different types of data.
I never said cognition was limited to text. I just limited the topic itself to cognition involving text.
