Right now you’re putting in unrequested effort to get to an answer. Nobody is driving you to do this, you’re motivated to get the answer. At some point you’ll be satisfied, or you might give up because you have other things you want to do, more.

An LLM is primarily trying to generate content. It’ll throw the best tokens in there but it won’t lose any sleep if they’re suboptimal. It just doesn’t seek. It won’t come back an hour later and say “you know, I was thinking…”

I had one frustrating conversation with ChatGPT where I kept asking it to remove a tie from a picture it generated. It kept saying “done, here’s the picture without the tie”, but the tie was still there. Repeatedly. Or it’ll generate a reference or number that is untrue but looks approximately correct. If you did that you’d be absolutely mortified and you’d never do it again. You’d feel shame and a deep desire to be seen as someone who does it properly. It doesn’t have any such drive. Zero fucks given, training finished months ago.
