Do I understand LLMs? (lemmy.world)

Basically, it's a calculator that can take letters, numbers, words, sentences, and so on as input.

And produce a mathematically "correct" sounding output, defined by language patterns in the training data.

This core concept is in most if not all "AI" models, not just LLMs, I think.

And our brains probably do something very similar. If llms are not intelligent our brains aren’t either.
