Ask HN: What body of knowledge do you have that LLMs don't?

    I invite everyone to meditate on the distinction between knowledge and data.

    LLMs can regurgitate a thousand textbooks on basic algebra, even rewording them as if from a tutor who talks like a pirate... but I can more-reliably add two numbers. Does it make sense to say that it has superior "knowledge of" addition?

    Dunno if this answers the question, but I can potentially make new stuff.
