Beyond large language models:Meaning construction under the path of object-oriented philosophy
Human creation is the foundation for people to establish their own position in the world and shape the meaning of the world through constructing a network of relationships.This construction requires some kind of"transcendent"ex-ternal object as a support.Currently,large language models have shown great creative potential in intelligent generation,and even can replace human creation in some original tasks,which may pose a potential threat to the human meaning world.The crux of the matter is that the underlying generation logic of large language models is based on correlationism,which inevitably exposes its deep limitations while simultaneously radicalizing deduction.On the one hand,large language models are enclosed in the symbol representation of literalism and existing fixed paradigms in a"correlative cy-cle"manner,making the dimension of"transcendence"impossible.On the other hand,the penetrating influence of large language models'intelligent generation function on the real structure has transcended the understandable scope of corre-lationism.In the long run,this deep contradiction will inevitably impact the meaning world that has been constructed by humans from a single subject perspective.How can humans break through the inherent generation logic of correlationism and maintain their own meaning world?This is a question that humans must face in the era of intelligent technology.Based on the"object-oriented philosophy",realizing"transcendence"of large language model generation logic is of great significance.This"transcendence"has a dual nature,which can not only more inclusively incorporate large language model-like intelligent machines and their functions into the interpretable scope of"things",but also break through the constraints of correlationism in a decentralized manner,and lead to the transcendence of external things through the aes-thetic activity of"joint reality",which enlivens human creation and provides support for the human meaning world.In this way,it opens up a path of meaning generation that transcends large language models.
