- Chinese researchers discovered that AI models like ChatGPT process information similarly to the human mind, indicating fundamental similarities in conceptual knowledge.
- The study involved LLMs performing “odd-one-out” trials, revealing that AI can categorize objects in ways akin to human cognition, particularly in language grouping.
- AI generated 66 conceptual dimensions to sort objects and showed strong alignment with human neural activity patterns, suggesting human-like conceptual representations.
- However, AI struggles with visual categorization and deeper cognitive tasks like analogical thinking, raising questions about their understanding of object significance and emotional value.
- The researchers aim to develop more human-like artificial cognitive systems for better collaboration between AI and humans.
