What's your definition of 'learn'? An LLM absolutely does extract and store information from its context. Sure, it's only short term memory and it's gone the next session, but within the session it's still learning.
I like your suggestion to update your original prompt instead of continuing the conversation.
- yarekt 2y agoWhen working together with a colleague, after some weeks each of you understand more how the other works, what they need to be productive, how to communicate better and achieve good results. Same with the domain context you’re working on, as your mental model grows more detailed, your performance goes up. with LLMs that leaning is only context, and in case of “chat ai” is the chat backlog. It’s easy for the LLM to get stuck, and there aren’t many tools yet that help you change and morph that context to be more like shared understanding between two colleagues. There is research going on in this area, eg “chain of thought”, so we’ll see, maybe things will get better
