Doesn't this make the "AI" even less creative and more like full-text-search instead? What makes some data a "fact"? If everything is written in the training data, in the end, won't everything be treated like a fact? So the LLM will have 100% accuracy and 0% creativity.

Some people don’t want their language model to have any creativity.
"Ten times less" is a common English usage with a clear meaning.
Creativity is clearly not the goal here. Machine learning models are trained to be robust to errors in the training data.
Most advertised commercial uses of "AI" are glorified search. This seems like an improvement in that space?
Whats wrong with that?

If "AI" simply allowed people to search data without having to structure it then apply very rigid search terms, that would be in a win in my book.

Nothing wrong, only that AI seems to be transforming into the next search engine, as opposed to AGI.
Yeah AGI is way off, if ever.

Question is do the public and investors realize that.

Sounds like compression to me
"Compressing" 500MB of data into a 70GB model.
Isn't it more like "compressing" interactions with and patterns of 500MB of data?

Like, it's not only text search but also has a degree of generalization (e.g. in labelling new documents)
