 @d0510e76 @7f888041 that’s not how a LLM works. What you’re talking about is Google. Google takes in information, indexes it, and searches that index. 

All ChatGPT does is predict the next 4 words and then the next 4 words. It doesn’t “know” what it’s saying.

 @aaac3133 @7f888041 I dunno anything about LLM, but I have some coding knowledge and every confidence that the "wife beater" phrase can traced to a source(s).
