From task structures to world models: what do LLMs know? - Trends in Cognitive Sciences, 2024. [All Versions]. [Preprint]. In what sense does a large language model (LLM) have knowledge? The authors answer by granting LLMs ‘instrumental knowledge’: knowledge gained by using next-word generation as an instrument. The authors then ask how instrumental knowledge is related to the ordinary, ‘worldly knowledge’ exhibited by humans, and explore this question in terms of the degree to which instrumental knowledge can be said to incorporate the structured world models of cognitive science. The authors discuss ways LLMs could recover degrees of worldly knowledge and suggest that such recovery will be governed by an implicit, resource-rational tradeoff between world models and tasks. The authors' answer to this question extends beyond the capabilities of a particular AI system and challenges assumptions about the nature of knowledge and intelligence.
