    With as much misinformation that’s being spread about regarding LLMs. It would only lose more people’s comprehension to go into anything more than a generalization.

    The problem is people are being sold AGI. But chat GPT and all these other tools don’t even remotely qualify for that. They’re really nothing more than a glorified Alice chatbot system on steroids. The one neat new trick to all this is that they’ve automated the training a bit. But these llms have no more comprehension of their output or the input they were given than something like the old Alice chatbot.

    These tools have been described as artificial intelligence to layman for decades at this point. It makes it really hard to change that calcified opinion. People would rather believe that it’s some magical thing not just probability and maths.

      They are bullshit machines, trained to output something that users think is the right output.
