AI debate turns to what linguists have long argued
Original: # ai # llm # language Everyone needs to stop, and go and read what the Linguists have been saying over the last few deca
A discussion circulating on Mastodon urges people interested in AI and large language models to read what academic linguists have been saying for decades, recommending the book 'Linguistics at Large' by Noel Minnis. The point being made is that debates over whether AI systems truly understand language ignore long-established thinking in linguistics, and that the field's insights are being overlooked in current AI discourse.
Why now: Ongoing debate about whether large language models really understand language has renewed interest in what linguists have argued for decades.
