No, it is not. In mathematical limit this applies to literally everything. In practice you are not going to store video compressed with a lossless codec, for example.

Me forgetting/never having "recorded" what necklace the other person had during an important event is not at all similar to a statistical text-generation.

If they ask me the previous question I can retrospect/query my memory and tell 100% whether I know it or not - lossy compression aside. An LLM will just reply based on how likely a yes answer is with no regards to having that knowledge or not.

  • You obviously forgot you previously heard about false memories and/or never thought that happens to you (would be v. ironic).
