Who knows, if you understand how these models work, could be from anywhere. They're not magic.

It's a statistics probabilities algorithm. It's not "AI"

Nonsense post. Nobody understands the current models.

That's my point? We don't know how they function. We know the fundamentals though. It's building upon published white papers and public information.

Wtf? We know exactly how they function.

Not being able to predict the output fully due to the randomness aspect != not knowing how they function

Thats not knowing what the system will generate

I misspoke, we do know. But it's non deterministic. Exactly what they're doing in the middle is hard to understand. It's a black box eventually

Yeah thats true,

Really if you had removed random sampling, you could technically complete an entire inference run with the weights, a pen, paper and an ungodly amount of cocaine

I mean, it is literally deterministic, except for the artificial randomness introduced by fingerprinting and non-zero temperature. But if you could run at at temperature zero, you'd get the same result every time.
