This is a good description, but it’s often a bad search function. Fundamentally, LLMs are Markov Chains with delusions of grandeur, that search a fixed autocomplete space. Creating a new neural network is also computationally expensive.

When I say “glorified” I mean that in the same sense as religious relics, they enshrine a thing very old as somehow new and probably entirely fake.

Ah … gotcha Sorry, I’m used to people using “glorified” to mean “fancy, but basically” … you are very correct in your usage — lots of worship.

Nothing on the internet should EVER be treated without due skepticism.
