this argument is weakened by welding large bulky statements together.. IMO each part there is a tip of a dynamic-systems-iceburg. "He just does THIS" and "that is THIS" ... the short form medium kills inquiry.
A studied person once admonished me "avoid the word IS when comparing systems in the abstract"
Nobody requires me or anyone else to agree with the comment you respond to, but what you write sounds plainly confused to me and other than vague stylistic concerns weaved together with the general sentiment that you disagree, I can't make out what argument you're trying to make.
I believe that your individual ability to execute an order is constrained such that some of the difference is removed. On the other hand, the overall thesis has merits IMHO
A meaningless distinction and unnecessarily nitpicky. From a scientific perspective it's not a myth, it's a valuable tool. For the average person (see what I did there?) it's not a mathematical formula, it's way of saying "that person whose characteristic being discussed is very common and representative of the whole group".
you might be surprised if you take this approach.. give key words and phrases in small amounts, each sentence of a prompt building on a previous sentence. Take a an example that is not very hard, like Lewis Carrol Alice in Wonderland original text. Although a quick question might get things sort of wrong, or miss details, if you guide the LLM to a certain part of the story, then a certain set of characters in that part of the story, then a certain statement or dramatic moment with those characters in that part of the story, you might get very specific detail that is close to line-by-line accurate. On the other hand, if you ask a quick, ordinary question about the same part of the story without supplying context and character names, you get something equally vague. YMMV
For the PhD thesis in question, I've actually tested a lot of requests about different parts of it, and both Claude and ChatGPT still draws a total blank if you don't let them do searches.
different models have been very different in this way.. almost ten years ago the French made a very large effort to capture languages.. the release notes I read at the time IIR had quite a few languages from South Asia / India, and in Africa. The language that was prominently missing was German IIR. I cannot say for the 2025-2026 models since so much has happened.. but models are not equal.
these ideas need some refinement.. literacy and a written Law come to mind. Basic Catholic teaching purposefully excludes quite a lot of material that is recognized today.
chemical engineering answers that in the small.. There are endless systems of testing within the chemical engineering discipline.. it has a bad name to the lay population, probably for real reasons, but the actual rigor is real also.. much worse scenarios from large scale industrial and agricultural applications could have happened..
one of many caveats to that is lead additives to gasoline, which is a wound to the living Earth to this day.. there are others.. RoundUp comes to mind in a similar way
