I'll meet you in the middle: an LLM "understands" words in the same way a toddler understands the phrases they say.

How'd your toddler do at IMO last year?



Ask an LLM for the difference between a definite and indefinite article, and then pronouns. Maybe just a whole run down of basic grammar. And then read the comment again.


Why don't you do that, since you're the one who has no idea what will happen?


I was referring to you referencing “my toddler” but I suppose if reading is not your forte suggesting you use an LLM isn’t helpful. My mistake.


If that's what you consider a reasonable argument for a rationally-held position, then other sites beckon.

But then it's hardly a rationally-held position, unless you have had no exposure to LLMs in the past year or two.


I run them locally. You never addressed personally attacking a toddler you assume I have. As you put it, other sites beckon. Take care
