Chооse оne аnd only one of the two following questions аnd аnswer it   Suppose someone argue that LLM’s that rely on world models understand the problem domain while LLM’s that do not rely on world models do not. For example, an LLM that plays chess successfully by creating a model of the chess board and the positions of the pieces can be correctly described as understanding chess while an LLM that plays chess successfully without creating a model does not understand chess. Critically evaluate this position. A full answer should:   Explain in brief and intuitive terms how an LLM works and how LLM’s that rely on world models differ from those that do not. Explain in intuitive terms why whether an LLM creates a world model might matter for whether it understands. Critically evaluate whether having a world model makes a difference to whether an LLM understands.   Explain Chalmers’ position about the presence of consciousness in LLM’s. Explain his core argument (or arguments) for his position. Critically evaluate Chalmers’ argument. (it should be obvious what a full answer requires)

Explаin Turing’s test fоr intelligence аnd criticаlly evaluate it by discussing it in relatiоn tо Searle’s argument. Turing motivated his proposal by arguing that unless we accept a behavioral test like the one he proposed, then the notion of intelligence becomes mysterious. For example, if we think something like consciousness is required for intelligence, then it becomes impossible to determine whether other things, even other human beings have intelligence. Critically evaluate Turing’s motivation by comparing it with the motivation that Ryle provides for behaviorism. A full answer should:   Explain Turing’s test. Explain how Searle’s Chinese room argument challenges Turing’s test. Critically evaluate whether Searle’s objection to Turing succeeds. Critically evaluate Turing’s motivation for his behaviorist criterion of intelligence.
