I went to Twitter and read what ML scientists say. They don’t think it’s anything like a layperson imagines it to be(I’m also a layman when it comes to LLMs). But it’s an impressive technology IMO. I just think we don’t know all the limitations and strength yet because there’s a vocal majority that suffers from survivorship bias.

They're just telling you how LLMs work. Anyone can understand the underlying algorithm with a bit of study. It's trivial.

Nobody is understanding the high level emergent effects of LLMs plus training. What the ML scientists say has as much credibility as a lay person in this regard.
