The learning is based on several different algorithms and variations of "reinforcement learning" and "optimization theory".
Part of the problem with such AI blackboxes (like LLM models) is that they learn on their own (based on the learning algorithms they are initially provided with). Hence you see sometimes "crazy output" from these LLMs. Hence the need for "human intervention" to correct "erroneous output". One of the problems with the "human intervention" part is that it introduces human/cultural/societal/political bias into the LLM model.
There is no workable fix (as yet), maybe in the future?
AI (currently) is WAY TOO MUCH "hype" (and fear). That's how it always is with these "techies" (of which I am one) and "investors/finance guys". Remember the "dot com" period? We are currently in an even larger bubble (IMHO), but I don't know when (not if) it will burst.
"Techies" are THE WORST people for opinions on the consequences of "different technologies" as their heads are so far up their ass (or in the clouds) that often they are in their own world (and unable to judge reality adequately).
I should know - I interact with them (and the industry) more than I would like. 😥

So what I hear you saying, Chang, is that my choice to keep it at arm's length, for the present, is likely judicious?
Vin & Chang, Like you both I am keeping AI at more than arms length. It is easy for me as I don't even know what it is!

Yes, very much so - you are one of the smart ones (IMO).
