What do you mean? Your brain takes in very raw input from air pressure, two eye cameras, chemical sensors, etc.. and reduces that input into a coherent singular experience.. same with reading words, you just 'understand' it, after being trained for many years by your parents and consuming vast amounts of input from your surroundings.


You mean my body interacts with the environment as an organism, so I know what trees and cars and human interaction is, unlike an LLM. Your sensory organs are part of your nervous system. You're not just a brain inside a meat suit.


You kind of are. The 3d coherent world you experience is completely rendered by your brain. The inputs are just 2 cameras waving around. But to you it’s a stable coherent 3d world.

Why do you think a LLM doesn’t know what a tree or car is?
