Deepen lecture 14: flip lens to examine human cognition limits
Major revision focusing on what LLMs reveal about human understanding: Content changes: - New framing: models as mirrors for human cognition, not just evaluation targets - Discussion prompts now explore human cognitive limits, not just LLM capabilities - Added 'spectrum of grounding' discussion (coffee → quark → GPT) - Added 'boundaries of human understanding' section (cognitive closure) - Added 'illusion of explanatory depth' (Rozenblit & Keil) - Removed shallow examples (coffee sensory list, simple Word2Vec failures) - Deeper questions: Are humans stochastic parrots too? Style changes: - All titles converted to sentence case - Scale classes added for overflow slides - More concise: 491 lines (was 684) - Removed redundant content covered in prior lectures New discussion questions: 1. Where do you draw the line on 'real' understanding? 2. What concepts do you suspect you fundamentally cannot grasp? 3. Is understanding a spectrum rather than binary?
