    Language models actually do learn things in the sense that: the information encoded in the training model isn’t usually* taken directly from the training data; instead, it’s information that describes the training data, but is new. That’s why it can generate text that’s never appeared in the data.

    • the bigger models seem to remember some of the data and can reproduce it verbatim; but that’s not really the goal.
