I come back to this every so often as well. After so many years of looking at Markov chain outputs that almost looked like they made sense or chatbot systems rewriting your sentence back at you, software which can simply talk is a heady thing.
I would say that the LLM is something completly different especiayll as its not a normal algorithm but is very close to what brains do.
Ah yes, matrix multiplication is "not a normal algorithm", surely.
The matrix multilication underneath a large language model is the hardware but the data and the forming weights is not.
A quick sort sorts a list. A LLM depends on its learning data.
You train a model and then you use the model.
