A trained LLM is an n dimensional space that maps out probable relations between tokens. This is what allows it to rank the next likely token which creates the illusion of thought or understanding.
This is very different to creativity. This is adhering to clichés.
I think this is also what 'taste' is. Being aware of different layers of these probabilistic choices while consciously curating alternative possibilities with some level of intention.

"We're at the beginning of a significant shift in the history of the internet in more ways than one, and we're feeling both optimistic and excited for the future. After two decades of restrictive networks and centralized platforms, there are a lot of very motivated people focused on one thing:
Bringing back the open web."

@npub15nw…s0l7 Hmm I can't see it, its a long thread and I've scrolled all the way up. But found it in the DOM surprisingly: gpt-4o-mini.
Yeah I guess its the inability to just say "I don't know" and instead hallucinate incorrect stuff that is alarming.
It concerns me because a lot of devs do really treat it as correct until proven otherwise.

@npub15nw…s0l7 Not sure, how do I check?

One of the best examples I've seen where #ChatGPT is just making stuff up.
For context I asked to decode a JWT in deno, it brought up an example using a https import against deno.land but deno now uses a new registry called jsr. So I said "use jsr" and it just states jsr is a "popular JWT library in deno" so confidently. It's not a jwt library, its not even really a library its a registry.
The brazen confidence!

The Ulysses pact part is so important. I used to make things in #Flash all the time and then it died. That's why I don't use #ReactNative , #Unity etc. If they can pull the rug I'm not learning that tool.
It's been hard to stick to that rule in the #musicproduction world, it's a nightmare there, but using #reaper and steering clear of DRM'd #vst 's is the best approach I've seen so far.
Surprising many don't prioritise for this. I guess I'm naive.
