Tell me you know nothing about LLMs without telling me

The Neurons in AI actually do kind of behave like if elses based on their weights and some other factors.

But they are not just literal code comprised of if else conditions.

They do not, because if/else is binary on/off, and the neuron activation function is a gradient.

Well that depends on how you see it. This a methaphor we are talking about. In its simplest form both are conditional based outcomes. Be it binary, a gradient, or even multi dimensional.

if-else's are all conditionals, but not all conditionals are if-else's

And i can't imagine a gradient activation function being described as "behaves like if-else's" since they have so little in common. Though I suppose that is a matter of opinion.

This is literally my point. What they have in common their conditional based behavior. Not that they have the same capabilities.
