First of all, many many thanks for your time, charity and quickness!! I really appreciate it that you deemed my post worthy of a reply!
Now, as for the reply and the specific points that you raise. First of all, I think I am quite clear and explicit regarding the use of the shorthand LLM and algorithms. Indeed, in the epilogue, I end with the example of the Youtube algorithm, which I believe is an algorithm but not an LLM (please correct me if i’m wrong).
Now, on to your second point. I am puzzled by your assertion in brackets that ‘(rules, I might add, that we don’t know)‘, are you saying that not even the coders who code LLMs know these rules (in this case I’d use the word algorithms, as the rules would in my poor grasp of the matter, be in the forms of algorithms, such as ’if you get prompt X look into dataset Y etc), or do you mean that the rules are not known to the user? I would appreciate it if you could clarify this for me.
Finally, could you please explain to me what specific ‘meaningful definition’ your after in your last sentence? I feel a bit lost.
Once again, many thanks for your prompt response, I would love it if my comments elicit another response for you that will allow both of us to reach a synthesis :)
