>(in before the 400th time some programmer tells me "well aren't you just an autocomplete" as if they know anything about the human brain)

Do you know any more about ChatGPT internals than those programmers know about the human brain?

Sure, I believe you can write down the equations for what is going on in each layer, but knowing how each activation is calculated from the previous layer tells you very little about what hundreds of billions of connections can achieve.

Yes, especially every time I have to explain what an LLM is or anytime I see a comment about how ChatGPT "reasoned" or "knew" or "understood" something when that clearly isn't how it works by OpenAI's own admission.

But even if that wasn't the case especially yes do I understand some random ML project more than programmers know about what constitutes human!
