Fine-tuning LLMs explained with human social learning analogy

Fine-tuning in large language models can be understood through a human analogy of learning social behavior. Prompt engineering is akin to temporary instructions given before an event, while instruction tuning involves teaching through examples and feedback. Fine-tuning, however, represents a deeper, internal change, similar to how a person internalizes social norms over time, leading to more natural and nuanced responses without constant external guidance.
