I agree with you on a technical level. I still think LLMs are transformative of the original text and if

when the number of sources that's what ultimately created the volume of the N-dimensional probabilistic space they're following is very low.

then the solution is to feed it even more relevant data. But I appreciate your perspective. I still disagree, but I respect your point of view.

I'll give what you've written some more thought and maybe respond in greater depth later but I'm getting pulled away. Just wanted to say thanks for the detailed and thorough response.
