Let me ask you this tho. When you say "do in fact make sense". Are you basing it that in the context of what you think this diagram is saying? Or do you mean "do in fact make sense" in the context of knowing how such an algorithm would be constructed?
You still keep missing my points. And they aren't difficult points either. The fancy jargon words were a basic ass description of what a bloom filter does. So you're kinda making my argument, which is funny for reasons I'm sure won't be appreciated.
I'm also not tangentially an expert, for fucks sake. I'm the kind who's day job is to design simpler things than what this diagram is trying to "explain", and telling you, that it comes across as if made by with a toddler's understanding. I also didn't say this was 100% guaranteed to be LLM, I said it smelled like it. I have suggested other possible explanations: stupidity, incompetence, and even a mental stroke.
Your take on being tangentially an expert might be a woosh moment
I'm also out of shits to give at this point. Literally.
You still think that's a relevant point? Did I also not point out to what extent it does make sense in that context, but still why it is weird, and why an LLM might do that weird thing, but a human wouldn't?
Maybe start at the beginning, and read again what I wrote. This time, do it with an assumption that I know what I'm talking about? Also, since you're already learning stuff. Read about how LLMs and transformers work. Maybe that might help. I don't know. Either way, fine by me. Fingers crossed you figure it out.
Wouldn't want to be accused of using big words, now, would I?
You want me to explain the bloom filter? So that you can say "see, I told you it makes sense to use as a memory efficient guaranteed no false negative checks on if a user has seen a video before. Dumbass".
Then I'd reply something like "yeah, I, know... The point isn't whether or not bloom filters can make sense here... What's being discussed is whether or not this was generated by a human or LLM... That, even if someone was making a diagram, of a system, where bloom filters was used, for the case of checking if you've already seen a video... It would still be weird to present it in the way it is presented in the diagram, for a human, but not so weird for an LLM, if you consider how LLMs work by associated concepts, where a 'creator filter' and 'bloom filter' are linguistically more connected, and explains why they are used similarly in the diagram, even though the latter is hardly considered a filter by anyone who has used one, not to mention that the actual 'filter' here would be the concept of 'not/seen before'... and again, who'd want to give a shit about which data structure is used to most space-efficiently perform that evaluation.. for fucks sake"
Then, you'll be all non sequitur and accuse me of some ad hominem like "you use big words on purpose to seem smart, but you are dumb".
