Thanks for the explanation as seen within the field. I imagined them more in the sense of a tool for modelling and analysis of alchemical transmutation, industrial risks, service queues, internet protocols… I did not try to suggest one should get automatic insight from a direct analogy from toy NLP models to obscenely bigger ANN models, but if the past underperformance from direct application (before the billions of dollars poured into the field) remain a stain in the imagination of computer scientists, no wonder stochastic modelling is seen as inferior to explain anything about LLMs.
