Causal parrots: Large language models may talk causality but are not causal

M Zečević, M Willig, DS Dhami, K Kersting - arxiv preprint arxiv …, 2023 - arxiv.org
Some argue scale is all what is needed to achieve AI, covering even causal models. We
make it clear that large language models (LLMs) cannot be causal and give reason onto …

Causal deep learning
