Comment on ‘We didn’t vote for ChatGPT’: Swedish Prime Minister under fire for using AI
AwesomeLowlander@sh.itjust.works 2 days agoI understand perfectly how LLMs work, and I made no claims about what they can do. Taking them on their own capabilities, not what some lying-through-their-teeth marketer said, is there a reason to say they ‘shouldn’t exist’?

OP didn’t phrase it as “should they exist” but as “do we need them to exist”.
And personally i think not, we don’t need them. In text generation they are good… inspiration? They are more of an inspiration killer imo.

We don’t NEED any particular technology to exist. That’s a weird distinction to make.
Different minds work differently.

No, mankind certainly needs a lot of techonologies (maybe just out of built dependency) either to mantain our living standards or just plainly to ensure that we produce and distribute enough resources for everyone to survive.
We need LLMs as much as we needed 3D movies or augmented reality.

Take any of those technologies that we depend on today, and go back to the decade they were invented. Practically none of them would have been considered ‘needed’ either. It takes time for technology to mature and be adopted. I’ll grant that the crazy pro-AI shills aren’t helping things any
