Namo Buddhaya!
I think that the best possible LLMs that one could make now would be specialized, trained by a certain person, on certain translations & interpretations, and on content such as certain forum posts, all fully customized by the trainer.
I guess that this is the most worthwhile way to implement the LLMs.
My point is that the model will only be as good as the trainer can make it and if the trainer himself holds wrong views then the model will be an extension of that.
It would be cool if it did “…” expansion. I was able to get this to work some of the time using the web interface. It’s really nice to be able to expand a sutta that is a single sentence into a few paragraphs like in the SN.
I made a PDF that is all of suttas, fed it into a PDF plugin and asked chatgpt questions. The results were so so. For example, when I asked it about the tetralemma, I had to explain the tetralemma to it. It thought samadhi and immersion were separate things.

Combined PDF with Ven. Sujato’s introductions stripped out. When I tried it with the original PDFs, ChatGPT was preferred answering based on Ven. Sujato’s commentary over the suttas. suttas_nO-sujato.pdf - Google Drive
