Hmm, there we are again, where Roman wrote "I really like to know 
exactly how the thing I'm making is doing what it's doing in every 
detail." Also in synthesis for me it is the most satisfying part, that I 
know what I am doing. I don't want to use, what comes from the blackbox 
- even if it sounds "cool". I want to have it on my own.

Here are a few more observations on what LLMs are capable of and on what 
not. I work (or rather, worked) in technical support for enterprise 
ticketing software that is used, among other things, for ... technical 
support. We introduced an API for LLMs quite early on (four years ago) 
and tried to use it for our own tasks as well. Our goal was to create 
generic HowTo documents based on individual support tickets that had 
been successfully resolved. Unfortunately, we found that while LLMs can 
do many things, there is one thing they cannot do: take a specific case 
and derive the general problem from it. An LLM can derive a solution for 
an individual problem from generic knowledge it has previously learned. 
But an LLM will never recognize the generic concept behind a specific 
case. That requires intelligence, and LLMs are not intelligent.
