I can agree with that largely but I still contend you’re conflating a few things to make that argument. Fundamentally an LLM will make predictions based on probability (ignoring temperature) and probability does not equal certainty.

It’s temperature primarily. That being said there is still a chance that an LLM can output values that are unexpected even at low temperatures.

What are you saying precisely? It’s well known that LLMs have non-deterministic output (Ilya Sutskever even claims as such). Are you saying the way it goes about retrieving tokens as deterministic?

Yeah that must be nice to have consumer protection laws where you live 🥲

My original post was actually a lived experience. Around the start of COVID I wanted to cancel my membership at Retro Fitness, but they refused unless I came in with an essay about why in person. Yup you read that right.

Fun fact: the gym was closed to guests because of COVID

Pretty easy decision

Yeah good call, I’d do this too. Just watch out though because the gym will send any unpaid bills to collections. Might be worth it though to get out of the contract - just make sure to pay off the debt within 30 days.

Lmao what an absolute moron you are. If you really believe that though enjoy the taste of your own medicine :)
