>By that logic sin(x) is equivalent to a lookup table

NO!

`sin(x)` is continuous, so the domain is infinite.

But an LLM model is not a continuous function, and thus the domain of a LLM model is finite (set of all possible tokens). So using a lookup table for a model behavior would be exact and not an approximation. So it can indeed be represented by an if statement of finite size.

Hence proved!

If you don't understand something in what I wrote, I can clarify if you tell me where you have trouble following.

Even if it were true he would still be wrong. I wish HN had some mechanic to evict these sorts of troll accounts that attempt to score rhetorical points rather than honestly learning about a subject. The usual vote and flag mechanics don't work here because there's no singular and overt violation of the guidelines taking place.

that is why I said
