Because I work with LLMs daily. I understand how they work. No matter how much I type at an LLM, its behavior will never fundamentally change without regenerating the model. It never learns anything from the content of the context.
The model is the LLM. The context is the document of a word processor.
A Jr developer will actually learn and grow in to a Sr developer and will retain that knowledge as they move from job to job. That is fundamentally different from how an LLM works.
I'm not anti-AI. I'm not "crying" about their issues. I'm just discussing the from a practical standpoint.
LLMs do not learn.
Clearly you don’t, because context data modifies how the training data extrapolates.
You can use something, while not being educated on how to use it. And just using something does not mean you understand how they work. Your comments have made it QUITE clear that you have no idea.
People who just whing about AI and pretend they know how they work are the worst kind of people right now.
Odd, I can say the exact same thing about your comments on the subject.
We are clearly at an impasse that won't be solved through this discussion.
