However, there is no evidence that the '''semantics can be fully deduced via syntactic relations'''. However, the opposite cannot be proven either."

In philosophical view GPTs are kind of mind-uploaded intelligences whereas language serves as a transport container: semantics via syntax. The training of a LLM is therefore not "learning" but "translating" algorithims from biolgical to synthetic hardware. And it is good that we didn't mind-upload an individuum but rather a combined condensate of human's collective knownledge. ''''Humans did all the work by having learned intelligence by simply growing up and by going to school, the LLM get it (poorly) transplanted.'''
