    It doesn’t have the ability to just look up anything from its training data, that stuff is encoded in its parameters. Still, the input has to be encoded in a way that causes the correct “chain reaction” of excited/not excited neurons.

    Beyond that, it’s not just a carbon copy from what was in the training either because you can tell it what variable names to use, which order to do things in, change some details, etc. If it was simply a lookup that wouldn’t be possible. The training made it able to generalize what it learned to some extent.

      Yes, but it doesnt do so because it understands what a variable is, it does so because it has statistics as to where variables belong most likely.

      In a way it is like the guy that won the french scrabble championship without speaking a single word of french, by learning the words in the dictionary.
