Once I started thinking of LLMs as a form of lossy compressed storage for their training information… I started having more reasonable expectations for these tools.

Compression and intelligence are closely related. http://prize.hutter1.net/
this very well put here. chomba is worth a follow. https://twitter.com/ChombaBupe/status/1764032173265281305
And that “lossy compression” could be emergent abstractions, much like the human brain.
It could also be fairy dust, no proof that it isn't that either.

As you can clearly see with this exaggerated example: that's not how proving stuff works. The burden of proof is on the one claiming that X or Y exist.
