LLMs are big statistical networks that determine the following word in a sentence. If two words are just as likely to follow, Claude is gonna pick the next word based on a secret key and somehow this can be looked up later. That appears to be the gist of it if I understood it correctly.

Yep that absolutely works. I‘m a freelancer and I‘m regularly hosting some events related to work topics in my city and got at least 2 big clients through that. All my other clients I also got through recommendations from friends, relatives and other clients.
