I usually have this technical hypothetical discussions with ChatGpt, I can share if you like, me asking him this: aren't LLMs just huge Markov Chains?! And now I see your project... Funny

Respectfully, absolutely nobody wants to read a copy-and-paste of a chat session with ChatGPT.

LLMs are indeed Markov chains. The breakthrough is that we are able to efficiently compute well performing probabilities for many states using ML.

Don't know what happened. I stumbled onto a funny coincidence - me talking to a LLM about its similarities with MC - decided to share on a post about using MC to generate text. Got some nasty comments and a lot of down votes. Even though my comment sparked a pretty interesting discussion.

Hate to be that guy, but I remember this place being nicer.

...are you under the impression that you have an exclusive relationship with "him"? Everyone else has access to ChatGPT too.
