Amusing how 99% of people using LLMs forget how these things work:
They are advanced probability machines. They generate the next most likely token (word) based in the input and their training.
Under the hood, it’s a giant matrix multiplication that has eerily good output.

SO frustrating when (at a larger company) you need another service make a small change... so you ask the team owning it to do it, and they tell you "sorry, can't do now, we can do it maybe in 2-3 months"
SO liberating when you can just make the change yourself and submit the PR
