This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

machine learning haters nowadays, pretending they know exactly how the llms work that not even the scientists working on them understand.

I think part of this particular problem stems from experts in the field making pretty wild claims while not still not completely understanding the tech.

Now a lot of this is prompted by market and media interest, but companies like Open AI taking advantage of this interest by making obtuse claims for funding purposes isn't exactly helping.

It IS wild, it is very special that we have a new field we don't fully understand how or why it works. No need to excuse blatant misinformation from just people guesstimating using their basic IT skills
