That claim is unjustified and unjustifiable
Nothing complex is a black box , because it has components, which can potentially be understood.
Nothing artificial is a black box to the person who built it.
An LLM is , of course, complex and artificial.
Everything is fundamentally a black box until proven otherwise.
What justifies that claim?
Our ability to imagine systems behaving in ways that are 100% predictable and our ability to test systems so as to ensure that they behave predictably
I wasn’t arguing on that basis.
