>I control what it is

Well not really, no one really understands how LLMs work.

>I dictate the thoughts of the model

This is just incorrect in the same way that a parent doesn't dictate the thoughts of their child just because they created them.

I do control what it is, really. If I make an LLM, it is entirely what I did, there was nothing outside of my control. It was not beyond my control if the LLM does something I didn't expect.

There is some idea of a child being the author of themselves, the type of person who thinks certain things. The llm does not author itself, it does not choose to be anything, I dictate that.
