Bob, 7:15, I see what you mean.

I didn’t mean it to come across that way. The internet dross refers to the data. Specialised data in the SLMs, the dross, the unrefined data, in the LLMs. Taking Goldie’s comments into consideration, consider a reference library, with carefully set out sections. A series of SLMs. Now mix up all the sections, add in all the literature, journalism, twitter-facebook-instagram-tiktok opinions, advertising, emotions, religions, history, climate – everything, in a random fashion, and you have the LLMs, which require huge computing power to search all the data, eliminating dross to find the gem you are looking for. Which currently they don’t, and probably will never be able to. So serious users will use, and pay for, SLMs. Leaving everyone else sorting through the dross in the LLMs.
