Of course there's an algorithm! What nonsense is this that we're saying things with probability used somewhere inside them are no longer algorithms?




What an LLM does is not an algorithm. It's called a heuristic.

To have an algorithm, you need to have a concrete way to show than an output is the correct or optimal one.

An LLM is satisfied by providing any random output that passes some subjective "this-does-not-seem-to-be-a-hallucination" test.
