Definitely. When we talk about being skilled in a T shape LLMs are all about spreading your top of T and not making the bottom go deeper.

Indeed, not much more depth — though even Terence Tao reported useful results from an earlier version, so perhaps the breadth is a depth all of it's own: https://mathstodon.xyz/@tao/110601051375142142

I think of it as making the top bar of the T thicker, but yes, you're right, it also spreads it much wider.

I prefer reading some book. Maybe the LLM was trained on some piece of knowledge not available on the net, but I much prefer the reliability and consistency of a book.
