Man the techno-utopianism is awfully strong for some people when it comes to LLMs. There are a wide range of opinions about these models on HN, many positive and many point out the very real flaws the current models have. If you find this mix of takes so offensive you might want to reconsider your own opinions a bit. These models are interesting, but they aren't magically perfect.
Most people outside of tech don't understands how these models work at even the highest level of them being text predictors or their output being highly dependent on the training data. Many people don't even realize the enormous amount of energy and data consumption required to train these models.
Seriously, try asking a random relative how an LLM works at a basic level. You're likely to get a blank stare at even the term "LLM".
