This is not how it works. LLMs at large scale have emergent properties. They are not just a box of 'if-then-else' statements. That was the major revelation when they scaled them up. They are doing beyond what that naive view of 'if-then-else' expects.

I don't see anything inaccurate in my comment.

"If I make an LLM, it is entirely what I did, there was nothing outside of my control."

True?

"The llm does not author itself, it does not choose to be anything"

Also true?
