> At it's core an LLM is a sort of "situation specific simulation engine." You setup a scenario, and it then plays it out with it's own internal model of the situation, trained on predicting text in a huge variety of situations. This includes accurate real world models of, e.g. physical systems and processes, that are not going to be accessed or used by all prompts, that don't correctly instruct it to do so.
You have simply invented total nonsense about what an LLM is "at it's core". Confidently stating this does not make it true.
Except I didn't just state it, I also explained the rationale behind it, and elaborated further on that substantially in subsequent replies to other comments. What is your specific objection?
