In the work with LLMs lies a deeper question, that I have not been able to answer for myself properly so far. I can use an LLM to extract information, summarise, distill, but it feels like I am fooling myself. The work that I have done is not done by me. I am have not made any connections in my brain. It feels like we should not use them for

I like this interpretation because it is analogous to a moment arm in mechanics, which is the length of an arm between an axis... See more
