Significant has a very specific meaning in statistics, which is going to come up in any biomedical research. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Statistical_significance


Do you think an LLM takes this into account when it uses the word?


Is the context statistical? If so, then yes.


We clearly disagree, in that case - have you used LLMs?

The person I was replying to linked to a Wiki article on "statistical significance" which is not the word being used or discussed in this convo; did you note that before you replied?

You expect an AI to follow context, but the context switched here and none of the humans are seemingly pointing it out. I'd expect LESS of an LLM, not more.
