> People who don't understand the basic 'theory/math', won't even understand things like parameter count, or the tradeoff between intelligence and response-time/running costs, a very important consideration for any real project. I am not sure anyone needs to know the parameter count if you are using GPT4 or similar powerful LLM. Most people also would never need to know "the tradeoff between intelligence and response-time/running costs". > People need to understand how they work under the hood. Most people don't understand how computers work, and yet derive immense value from them (Non engineers, even most programmers I have met have no clue how the computer works mostly)
