If that was your intention, I apologize. I misunderstood what you were trying to say. But looking at the score on that comment, I don't think I'm the only one who misunderstood it. These comments may need a bit more effort to avoid this confusion. Meanwhile, please don't take it personally - I wasn't trying to insult or be disrespectful. I was just trying to convey that it was annoying. Anyway, thanks for the pointer! I will check it out.

I appreciate the apology ... but the problem isn't a lack of effort on my part. Many people here make little effort to understand what others are trying to convey and take a hostile uncharitable attitude at a drop of the hat, especially at the mere suggestion that anyone might conceivably derive any benefit from an LLM. I myself am a close follower of Gary Marcus and have extreme reservations about the technology, but the fact is that for now they are useful tools.

BTW, you might want to look at a recent comment of mine,

It's because of my familiarity with RFCs and Steve Crocker, who originated the idea, that I had a recollection that he had discussed why they were called that, and prompted the LLM for details.
