Chinesische Wissenschaftler finden den ersten Beweis dafür, dass KI wie ein Mensch denken könnte – überzeugende Evidenzobjekte in LLMs ‚teilen grundlegende Ähnlichkeiten, die wichtige Aspekte des menschlichen konzeptionellen Wissens widerspiegeln.‘

From the article

Chinese researchers have confirmed for the first time that [artificial intelligence](https://www.scmp.com/topics/artificial-intelligence?module=inline&pgtype=article) large language models can spontaneously create a humanlike system to comprehend and sort natural objects, a process considered a pillar of human cognition.

It provides new evidence in a debate over the cognitive capacity of AI models, suggesting that artificial systems that reflect key aspects of human thinking may be possible.

“Understanding how humans conceptualise and categorise natural objects offers critical insights into perception and cognition,” the team said in a paper published in the peer-reviewed journal Nature Machine Intelligence on Tuesday.

Well, they’ve learnt by reading us, so… that was a little bit predictable, no ?

here is the preprint for anyone interested:
