Lol Sure

>I am pushing back on people conflating the innate complexity of a high dimensional polynomial with a misplaced reverence of incomprehensibility.

We don't know what the models learn and what they employ to aid in predictions. That is fact. Going on a grad descent rant is funny but ultimately meaninglessness. It doesn't tell you anything about the meaning of the computations.

There is no misplaced incomprehensibility because the internals and how they meaningfully shape predictions is incomprehensible.

>Mathematically proven to be able to do something is about as far from surprise as one can get.

Magic the gathering is turing complete. I'm sorry but "therotically turing complete" is about as meaningless as it gets. Transformers aren't even turing complete.
