Thank you for the article. That was very thought provoking. I think the stochastic parrot analogy is useful as a starting point to for students to understanding basic design of an LLM. For me, the geometric understanding of an LLM points to why its use by students quickly yield diminishing returns. In the hands of someone who is a non-expert in any field, the users’ ability to know how to interface so that it augments instead of replacing his or her abilities is limited. For me, this is why it is key to deeply form and educate students’ “native wetware”—their own minds first.
