> LLM has come up with out of thin air
People don't think that. Especially not the commentor you replied to. You're human-hallucinating.
People think LLM are trained on raw documents and code besides StackOverflow. Which is very likely true.
Read the parent of the parent. Its about being able to answer questions thats not in its training data. People are talking about LLMs making scientific discoveries that humans havent. A ridiculous take. Its not possible and with the current state of tech never will be. I know what LLMs are trained on. Thats not the topic of conversation.
