		tmnvdb 5 months ago \| parent \| context \| favorite \| on: Yet Another LLM Rant You use a lot of anthropomorphisms: doesn't "know" anything (does your hard drive know things? Is it relevant?), "making things up" is even more linked to continuous intent. Unless you believe the LLMs are sentient this is a strange choice of words.

I originally put quotes around "know" and somehow lost it in an edit.

I'm precisely trying to criticize the claims of AGI and intelligence. English is not my native language, so nuances might be wrong.

I used the word "makes-up" in the sense of "builds" or "constructs" and did not mean any intelligence there.
