LLM wrong => unredeemable and fatally flawed

human wrong => no problem, mistakes happen

Yeah, a little bit. Our biology makes us unpredictable to a certain degree. In simple terms we're allowed to have a bad or a good day. LLM's remain unchangeable and simple mistakes they make can't be explained in the same manner I think.

I get the reflex, but this becomes increasingly untenable as their complexity balloons. (Our "biology" is some sort of code for "it's complex".)

But LLMs are not unchangable, there are several mechanisms available by now to drive change and learning (especially as context windows improve)

Practically for outcomes it doesn’t matter if that learning is happening in the LLM or on a layer above it.

I guess now computer systems have personalities, biases, make things up is kind of different? I guess we've come to expect more.
