Abstract
En 中文
Large language models (LLMs) represent a novel technological species in the realm of general intelligence. Their problem-solving approach is not based on “first principles” (logocentrism) but rather on empirical learning from observed data. LLMs possess the ability to extract intuitive knowledge from vast amounts of data, enabling them to offer flexible and effective solutions in the face of complex and dynamic scenarios. The general intelligence characteristics of LLMs are mainly reflected in three aspects: technologically, they exhibit common sense, deep reasoning, strong generalization, and natural human-computer interaction; in terms of intelligence, they demonstrate memory-driven core features, powerful data-driven learning capabilities, and exceptional generalization abilities; in terms of thought, they possess highly humanlike cognitive traits such as contextual understanding, analogy, and intuitive reasoning. These capabilities collectively suggest that LLMs can adapt to a wide range of complex, open-ended scenarios, presenting a stark contrast to traditional models that emphasize formal logic, quantitative analysis, and narrowly defined problem structures. As such, the rise of LLMs is likely to drive significant shifts in AI theory and application, potentially redefining how intelligent systems approach decision-making, strategic reasoning, and contextual understanding in uncertain and dynamic environments.
