Steve slipped again in SN1023 stating that we don't understand how AI works. We know. People who don't know are equivalent of those who run away in fear from DaVinci's mechanical lion or those who viewed early cars, horseless carriages as magic. Best mechanical equivalent for AI may be a gold sluicing machinery. Math shakes and sifts wast amount of material and inevitably gold nuggets of results emerge at the end, by Physics in real world, by Math in AI. It is just giant shaker and sifter, blindly extracting what is wanted. Despite the name, there is no intelligence or reasoning within. There is nobody there saying, oh this is gold let me extract it. Don't fall into the trap of believing that, there is no ghost in the machine. By authority of 17yrs of work in AI field.

BootAble – FreeDOS boot testing freeware
To obtain direct, low-level access to a system's mass storage drives, SpinRite runs under a GRC-customized version of FreeDOS which has been modified to add compatibility with all file systems. In order to run SpinRite it must first be possible to boot FreeDOS.
GRC's “BootAble” freeware allows anyone to easily create BIOS-bootable media in order to workout and confirm the details of getting a machine to boot FreeDOS through a BIOS. Once the means of doing that has been determined, the media created by SpinRite can be booted and run in the same way.
The participants here, who have taken the time to share their knowledge and experience, their successes and some frustrations with booting their computers into FreeDOS, have created a valuable knowledgebase which will benefit everyone who follows.
You may click on the image to the right to obtain your own copy of BootAble. Then use the knowledge and experience documented here to boot your computer(s) into FreeDOS. And please do not hesitate to ask questions – nowhere else can better answers be found.
(You may permanently close this reminder with the 'X' in the upper right.)
I think you are being somewhat simplistic. We understand the mechanics of the process, much as we understand the mechanics (more or less) of how our own human brains work. What we don't have a proper understanding of, is how the results that occur are a consequence of the design. It's as simple as there is TOO MUCH information processing going on for it to be something we can wrap our understanding around. If we did have a proper understanding, we could PREDICT how humans or LLMs would respond to every possible input/event... and we clearly don't have that at this time.
