Why large language models are bad at imitating people
Large language models like ChatGPT and Copilot are useful for many things. However, they are not yet good enough to imitate the way people speak.

Page 10: Research news on Large language models
Large language models are high-capacity neural sequence models trained on massive text and multimodal corpora to perform language understanding, generation, and reasoning. Current work examines their internal representations, cognitive and social behavior analogies to humans, and limitations in mathematical, causal, and strategic reasoning. Research also addresses alignment with human values and brain activity, safety and security vulnerabilities, privacy and de-anonymization risks, cross-lingual and sociocultural biases, scaling and efficiency laws, and frameworks for tool use, multi-agent interaction, and domain-specific deployment.
