No, I mean the large contingent of people who literally say that all the code, and all the images, produced by LLMs exist on the web already and that LLMs are just search engines. This is not a hypothetical.
- tdullien 2y agoOh, I wasn't aware people seriously advocated that. I've heard people argue LLMs are approximate search engines and their results kernel-smoothed combinations of multiple terms in the index and the embedded prompt (and I can see some of that argument), but I hadn't seen anyone seriously argue they're pure info retrieval. That seems obviously wrong.
