> LLMs don't read

so it's ok to say "SSD read/write speed", but now that we have something closer to the original meaning of the word, someone always has to point out that "LLMs don't have a soul" (or whatever you think is required for it to count as akchyually reading)

do storage devices have souls?

If I can just stand up for the nitpicker - arguably in the uncanny valley it’s more natural to point out it’s not reading (by their definition) than outside it (ssd’s).
