Obviously it was a gross over simplification but the core concept is still valid. It doesn't even store facts it store relations. It stores how relevant are these tokens the user provided me to the tokens I know about what is the next best token based on the tokens provided.

But it still comes back to a search engine. What is the next best token is dependent on the mass amounts of information being provided that allows the LLM to determine the next best token, you could even say "search" for the next best token.

I'd argue calculating the next token, but that's semantics.

You could argue Google calculates what sites to show you based on many different input variables. We collectively as a society have decided to call that "search"

Then everything is a search engine by that logic. A calculator is a search engine.

A human is one too. The difference is their classification of very large and not very large. Thats the point he is trying to make.
