Anything can happen. We can discover time travel tomorrow. The economy cannot run on wishful thinking.
LLM’s are not the only type of AI out there. ChatGPT appeared seemingly out of nowhere. Whose to say the next AI system wont do that as well?

It can! For a while. Isn’t that the nature of speculation and speculative bubbles? Sure, they may pop some day, because we don’t know for sure what’s a bubble and what is a promising market disruption. But a bunch of people make a bunch of money until then, and that’s all that matters.

The uncertainty of it is exactly why it shouldn’t suck up as much capital and resources as it is doing.

Shouldn’t, definitely. But for a while, it will keep running, because that’s how a lot of speculative investment works.

ChatGPT did not appear out of nowhere.
ChatGPT is an LLM that is a generative pre-trained model using a nueral network.
Aka: it’s a chat bot that creates it’s responses based on an insane amount of text data. LLMs trace back to the 90s, and I learned about them in college in the late 2000s-2010s. Natural Language Processing was a big contributor, and Google introduced some powerful nueral network tech in 2014-2017.
The reason they “appeared out of nowhere” to the common man is merely marketing.

You’re misquoting me. I haven’t claimed LLMs appeared out of nowhere.

You said ChatGPT appeared out of nowhere. ChatGPT is basically Eliza with an LLM.

Those are not my words and you know it. You’re misquoting me.
