A “flash” of anything is also called a fluke, or a coincidence. The dumbest moron can have a flash of brilliance on occasion. So could a random word masher. Consistency is what matters.

Are we? Who’s “we”? Because it looks to me like the LLM approach is lacklustre if you care about truth and correctness (which you should) but the people and companies invested don’t really have a better idea and are shoving them down everyone’s throats in pursuit of personal profit.

Re: truth and correctness, their are different tolerances depending on the type of task.
