Imagine a factory making injection molded plastic toys but instead of pumping out perfect parts 99.999% of the time, the machine gives you 50% and you have to pay people to pull out the bad ones from a full speed assembly line and hope no bad ones get through.

Is this not how microchips are made?

		Chips can be and are tested automatically. It's not like there are people running beside a conveyor belt with a microscope. So no, it's not the same thing. One doesn't need people, while the other one does. Also, a fab is intended to make fully functioning chips, which sometimes it fails to achieve. An LLM is NOT designed to give correct output, just plausible output. Again, not the same goal. LLMs are an implementation of bogosort. But less efficient.
