    Sure but what is their purpose other than to create convincing sounding sentences? And use a lot of computer resources to do so?

      Sure if you want to reduce it down to it’s most basic elements. Anything sounds useless like that. Video games are just dots changing color on a screen and use a lot of electricity. Banking software is just tracking changes to a number and also is extremely inefficient and resource intensive.

        This is not a convincing argument to say that other things can be reduced down arbitrarily, than explaining the usefulness of it.

          Well I can personally say it has cut down the amount of busy work at my job down by a lot. Boilerplate code is easy and near instantaneous. I am also working on a project that can bridge the communication gap between highly technical text and non technical readers. It works extremely well at this task even with a non fine tuned model, which is my current step in development.

      In all reality this tokenization and llm language processing is useful for all sorts of things which can be mathematically somewhat modeled similarly to language. Using them for shitty web searches is not ideal.
