That is not how it works. Your smartphone has all the dictionary available, same as LLM. It is simply something very different. People super confidently discussing about AI on lemmy are the real hallucinating parrots

    There is an inverse relationship between the intelligence of a person and their amazement at what these large language models can produce.

    People who aren't amazed at what LLMs produces have no clue how complicated it is to generate plausible language in the first place. Dunning–Kruger and all that.

    The ability to generate plausible language was a lack of compute power. The actual programs running the LLM is not complicate.

    The model that is produced is complex.

    Its training required compute power that was not previously available but the math/code behind these systems is not complex. They are resource intensive. There is a difference that a layperson often cannot comprehend.
