Episode notes
LLMs as Word Slot Machines
- LLMs function like word slot machines, predicting the next word based on associations.
- They don't store text verbatim but learn patterns from massive datasets.
LLMs vs. Databases
- LLMs aren't databases of stolen books; they generate text based on learned patterns, not by copying.
- Like human memory, they assemble text on the fly, sometimes making things up.

- Early use involved brainstorming, now she uses scene beats and AI to fill in details.
