@josemurilo

the fact that those "models" require hundreds of billions of parameters to work is sort of a smoking gun.

While there is probably some degree of "learning" involved, in that the model size is not the same as the input data size (😂 ), this is orders or magnitude away from what we normally call a "model" of something: a parsimonious representation.

And because LLM's don't really learn, we also don't really learn by inspecting them (which again is the hallmark of a useful model)

@openrisk @josemurilo you'd probably not need that much training to be ready to answer questions on any topic
