Flipboard Science DeskHumans have been hunting for sex-based differences in the brain dating back to at least ancient Greece. Yet a scientist observing a female and male brain in a lab can’t tell them apart. "I'm not aware of any measure you can make of the human brain where the male and female distributions don't overlap," Dr. Armin Raznahan told Live Science. That said, the question of how male and female brains differ may still matter. <a href="https://flipboard.com/@LiveScience" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@LiveScience</a> has more:<a href="https://flip.it/iCwGqz" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://flip.it/iCwGqz</a><a href="https://flipboard.social/tags/Science" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Science</a> <a href="https://flipboard.social/tags/Humans" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Humans</a> <a href="https://flipboard.social/tags/Brains" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Brains</a> <a href="https://flipboard.social/tags/Health" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Health</a> <a href="https://flipboard.social/tags/Neurology" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Neurology</a>

ResearchBuzz: FirehoseUniversity of Amsterdam: Why GPT can’t think like us. “Artificial Intelligence (AI), particularly large language models like GPT-4, has shown impressive performance on reasoning tasks. But does AI truly understand abstract concepts, or is it just mimicking patterns?
