It's orthogonal to whether LLMs can be a useful abstraction layer, but ...

I have a feeling that if LLMs were built on a deterministic technology, a lot of the current AI-is-not-intelligent crowd would be saying "These LLMs can only generate one answer given a question, which means they lack human creativity and they'll never be intelligent!"

It’s not really about determinism, but about the fact that the input to an LLM is inherently ambiguous, unlike the input to a C compiler.

Interesting. I believe some circles reached the consensus that they aren't creative, but that it's independent of their intelligence/modelling capabilities.

it is a fruitless endeavour to try to appeal to a crowd that does not and will never understand the fundamentals of how llms work.

[ofjcihen]

I think that crowd would agree with you.

Doesn't make them any more rational
