Overlap in Meaning Is a Stronger Predictor of Semantic Activation in GPT-3 Than in Humans

2022-12-12

Abstract excerpt

<p>Modern large language models generate texts that are virtually indistinguishable from those written by humans and achieve near-human performance in comprehension and reasoning tests. Yet, their complexity makes it difficult to explain and predict their functioning. We examined a state-of-the-art language model (GPT-3) using lexical decision tasks widely used to study the structure of semantic memory in humans....
