Yes, That site and the videos by 3 blue 1 brown are enough to explain llms to the interested.

1. I only use the AI when I already know the answer but want to save time writing. In other words as a search engine. Often it will add a point or two that I wouldn’t have to a list. I find this helpful.
2. I almost always edit the answer because the AI’s literally don’t know the correct answer – they have not been trained properly because of the overwhelming bias in the written record.
3. I almost always tie it into my work or I wouldn’t bother.

So no you can’t get that kind of answer out of the AI.

In the past I would just have done a google search or two or three and then written the list out myself. In this sense AI helps me write more thorough and ‘educating’ posts on more topics with less effort.

If you watch brad and I work, I usually just draft a paragraph that explains what I’m looking for, using all the right ‘anchor points’ and because it knows my work so well at this point, it gets most of the way there. Brad and I still have to correct it often, and I can’t train it out of weasel words, but it’s so much faster than going through my notes, (which there are thousands and thousands of pages of) or my slide decks, or my scripts, and then a bunch of google and bing queries, and then writing it manually. So we instead we upload the the book to date, and then chapter by chapter, and then we tell it to remember certain things. And if I compose a good prompt I get about what I want.

HAIL, can you send that text via pm so I can run some tests against the ai?
