  You have a lot of faith in human authors.

    Oh I do not, but the choice is: a human who might understand what happens vs a probabilistic model that is unable to understand ANYTHING

      probabilistic model that is unable to understand ANYTHING

      You're the one who doesn't understand how these things work.

    LLM AI bases its responses from aggregated texts written by ... human authors, just without having any sense of context or logic or understanding of the actual words being put together.

  I understand they are just fancy text prediction algorithms, which is probably justa as much as you do (if you are a machine learning expert, I do apologise). Still, the good ones that get their data from the internet rarely make mistakes.

    I'm not an ML expert but we've been using them for a while in neurosciences (software dev in bioinformatics). They are impressive, but have no semantics, no logics. It's just a fancy mirror. That's why, for example, world of warcraft player have been able to trick does bots into making an article about a feature that doesn't exist.

    Do you really want to lose your time reading a blob of data with no coherency?

      We are both on the internet, lol. And I mean it. LLMs are slightly worse than the CEO-optimized clickbaity word salad you get in most articles. Before you’ve found out how\where to search for direct and correct answers, it would be just the same or maybe worse. <– I found this skill a bit fascinating, that we learn to read patterns and red flags without even opening a page. I doubt it’s possible to make a reliable model with that bullshit detector.
