Similarities and Differences Between Artificial and Biological Intelligence
Artificial intelligence (AI) tools like large language models (LLMs) have revealed both similarities and differences compared to biological intelligence. While LLMs can perform remarkable tasks and generate images, they also exhibit notable limitations such as poor long-range planning and reasoning abilities. In contrast, humans demonstrate greater efficiency in learning and knowledge extraction from their experiences. The comparison highlights the distinct ways in which AI systems and the human brain process information and make decisions.
