Where Is GPT in the Chomsky Hierarchy?

- The Chomsky hierarchy classifies text-generating algorithms by their expressiveness.
- Context-free languages, a category in the hierarchy, cover most programming languages due to their syntax tree structure.
- Human language is more complex than context-free languages, possibly Turing complete due to human intelligence.
- GPTs, despite their capabilities, are not Turing complete due to finite vocabulary and bounded computations.
- Transformers, unlike RNNs, cannot perform unbounded computations, which makes them easier to train but less expressive.
- The debate on GPTs' sufficiency for automating human labor hinges on their computational limitations versus human-like generalization.
