And herein lies the fundamental power of the LLM and why it can even solve "impressive" problems: it is able to navigate a space that humans can't trivially - massive amounts of information and ability to parse through walls of simple logic/text.

LLMs are at their best when the context capacity of the human is stretched and the task doesn't really take any reasoning but requires an extraction of some basic, common pattern.

That’s the very reason we built computers. If an LLM did not also meet this definition, there would be no point of it existing

    You're not the first person to suggest that LLMs have no reason to exist.
