Is this unsurprising? It's a fancy markov chain. It's like using a slot machine to diagnose medical conditions. I guess it's a slot machine with really good marketing.

Hey, 2021 called, they want their knee-jerk criticisms of LLMs back

Ask your LLM for a random number between 1 and 10. What do you get?

Let me guess you got 7?


Picking up your original comment - Markov chains are much better at generating random numbers than either humans or LLMs!

People are reading way too much into it, talking about "emergence" and anthropomorphizing it to insane degrees.
