It would be helpful to know how the models actually work under the hood.

But we made very good use of metals for thousands of years before we understood things like atoms, chemical bonds, lattices, etc.

Some engineering disciplines can be made up largely of empirical knowledge.

Engineering to me is "make the things we want out of the things we have", and not necessarily "design based on complete scientific theories".

I, as a Real Engineer, REFUSE to use ChatGPT until we have a working theory of quantum gravity. Enough of this bullshit where no one knows the fundamentals of what they’re working with.
