For sure a honorable man. But reading his story playing around with gpt is like reading an old man telling you about buying his first computer and being surprised, that this "electronic device" is capable to deliver proper calculations for questions like 1+1 and (7+2x-6)^34 ...
It's a kind not worthy a smart and curious mind. Like my Grandpa in his latter days.. "what's that Internet everyone is talking about? I want to take a look my self, because everyone is talking about it"
... "Nah, it is astounding, but it isn't for me. I'll pass "
No one wants to force mr Knuth to use LLMs, but if one's use it, or try it, i would expect that the pitfalls and problems are known.
Just like to act surprised when GPT forgets something or delivering some wrongs.. with a temperature of 0.7. Whatever that means. ...
Why is my understanding of GPT so far away from Knuth's? I do not understand GPT but see, we're in the beginning. All old guys argue like there won't be any iteration in development and that's is, and it's not capable to do basics properly. So it's the last shiaaat.
