I think saying machine learning is just statistics is a bit misleading. There’s not much statistics going on in deep learning. It’s mostly just “eh, this seems to work I dunno let’s keep doing it and see what happens”.

Neural nets, including LLMs, have almost nothing to do with statistics. There are many different methods in Machine Learning. Many of them are applied statistics, but neural nets are not. If you have any ideas about how statistics are at the bottom of LLMs, you are probably thinking about some other ML technique. One that has nothing to do with LLMs.
