Much of the recent discourse within the NLP research community has been centered around
Large Language Models (LLMs), their functionality and potential--yet not only do we not
have a working definition of LLMs, but much of this discourse relies on claims and
assumptions that are worth re-examining. This position paper contributes a definition of
LLMs, explicates some of the assumptions made regarding their functionality, and outlines
the existing evidence for and against them. We conclude with suggestions for research …
