I didn't say what you said, that's a lot of words and concepts you're attributing to me that I didn't say.
I'm saying, LLM ingests data in a way it can average it out, in essence it learns it. It's not wrote memorization, but it's not truly reasoning either, though it's approaching it if you consider we might be overestimating human comprehension. It pulls in the data from all the places and uses the data to create new things.
People pull in data over a decade or two, we learn it, then end up writing books, or applying the information to work. They're smart and valuable people and we're glad they read everyone's books.
The LLM ingests the data and uses the statistics behind it to do work, the world is ending.
