> "it's simply very complex algorithm code, it's not intelligent, it does not think"
It's not a complex algorithm. It's statistics, built on top of a staggeringly large dataset. It essentially does a playback of the thinking people used when writing the the terabytes of texts that was turned into hundreds of billions of rules like "if word A appears after word B then word C is more likely to follow" that an LLM consists of. Deeplearning models in other domains have similar kinds of rules, just on tokens that aren't word-fragments.
It's not intelligent, and doesn't think, and doesn't learn or have any form of memory. It gives the illusion of having a conversation by being fed all your previous questions and its replies every time you write a new question.
Despite it not being thinking, it is useful enough to solve a large number of real-world problems.
