I'm carrying a thought around for the last few weeks:

A LLM is a transformer. It transforms a prompt into a result.

Or a human idea into a concrete java implementation.

Currently I'm exploring what unexpected or curious transformations LLMs are capable of but haven't found much yet.

At least I myself was surprised that an LLM can transform a description of something into an IMG by transforming it into a SVG.

Ironically your comment is clearly written by an LLM.

> gets at something fundamental.

  :D

LLMs are generators, and that was the correct way to view them at the start. Agents explore.
