Wiki needs and ELI5 section (lemmy.world)

After reading the post about large language models and computation I clicked on a link to a wiki read on the subject. It was good, but technical to the point, again great. But I feel it needs a metaphorical or other version to get the concept across without the black and white math.

An ELI5 section to wiki would be good, no?

Thanks, I'll give it a browse

Surely as a career scientist you could find the rigor to spellcheck a 5-word post title.

I'm not sure where you get you're expectations of scientists, but it appears to me to be a faulty expectation. Peace and love ❤️

Spellings never been my strong point >_<
