Solid read especially for someone not in this field. While everything I’ve learned about LLMs has been pretty interesting, all I can say for sure is that I’m more and more skeptical about wide scale adoption. Consumers are being pushed almost to the level of coercion to utilize LLMs. Especially in the case of the government, who in most cases will get a free pass for a year to help build that addiction before the real bill comes due. I’m sure people will object to LLMs being considered statistical bullshit generators, but I cant stop seeing that they just generate bullshit. Bullshit can be believable, sometimes bullshit is truthful. But the public is generally accepting that LLMs churn out truth, and they trust them blindly. I truly don’t see the upside, and the argument being pushed by the dealers is that we need to keep using. The real breakthrough is around the corner. It’s my believe that the tech bros are the new robber barons, they’ve moved on from crypto and NFTs and found something that is pretty impressive but a far cry from the GenAI that wish for. I just feel that technology was supposed to free us and also connect us, but instead it’s all things addictive and consuming.
