    Language models cannot capture spatial dynamics, physical mechanics, and sensory experiences like motor angles and smell because these aspects of reality are rarely described in text corpora and resist verbal description.

    “I think language models are able to understand a lot about the world. More than we expected because language is actually probably richer than we thought. But there's still a lot about the spatial dynamics of the world, spatial awareness and the physical context we're in — and how that works mechanically — that is hard to describe in words and isn't generally described in corpuses of words. Alot of this is allied to learning from experience. There's a lot of things which you can't really describe something. You have to just experience it. Maybe the senses and so on are very hard to put into words. Whether that's motor angles and smell and these kinds of senses, it's very difficult to describe that in any kind of language.”
