This is the best, more elegant, description of what LLMs do.
I wish more people understood that.
Plus: there are many different tools under the umbrella of “AI” that work differently, but a common thread is they main work through giant regression models.

Chatbots — LLMs — do not know facts and are not designed to be able to accurately answer factual questions. They are designed to find and mimic patterns of words, probabilistically. When they’re “right” it’s because correct things are often written down, so those patterns are frequent. That’s all.

Correct. If the birthdate field contains corrupt or mismatched data, it defaults to 1875-05-20, which serves as a flag. May 20, 1875, is the day the international standards and metrics treaty was signed. Everything is a conspiracy when you don’t know how anything works.

But they don't work as climate solutions.
Instead, we should use Occam’s Razor and find the things that work.
