    LLMs: hallucinate like that guy from school who took every drug under the moon.

    Actual trained specially AI: finds new particles, cures for viruses, stars, methods…

    But the latter one doesn’t tell it in words, it does in the special language you use to get the data in the first place, like numbers and codes.

      Just to built on this and give some more unasked for info:

      All of AI is a fancy dancy interpolation algorithm. Mostly, too fancy for us to understand how it works.

      LLMs use that interpolation to predict next words in sentences. With enough complexity you get ChatGPT.

      Other AIs still just interpolate from known data, so they point to reasonable conclusions from known data. Then those hypotheses still need to be studied and tested.
