  • Average is also a word used outside the context of mathematics. Would you make this argument if someone said “I’m average looking”? No, no, you can’t be average looking, because there is no such thing as an average of appearances! Come on.

    average to what?

    to average is to compare. to compare you need a set. to have a set you need data.

    an average is an equilibrium of a set of data.




  • average is literally a mathematical function. you can’t have an average of anything without math.

    think about it. average as in typical or usual to what? what’s the data set? I’ll give you that LLMs can give you a facsimile of an average, but results are so wildly inconsistent that it makes the end result absolutely useless for anything other than “entertainment value”.

    LLMs are the 21st century automatons from the 16th century.

    behold! it moves and thinks on its own! it’s alive!!
