You’re still doing it. “recalling factoids” is not how they work. At all.
Me saying you’re wrong about them being an economic threat isn’t a strawman. It’s me disagreeing about the severity of the issue. You having an ignorant opinion is not me strawmanning you. It’s me calling you ignorant.

Fine, you want me to be pedantic? When prompted with tokens that appear in an order that humans understand as a question that corresponds to some aspect of the universe as we understand it, the tokens predicted by the LLM correspond to an answer that humans agree is more representative than the tokens provided by the average human. Tell me where in my initial comment I said they weren’t an economic threat. I never said they weren’t. I said they aren’t an existential threat. Please read my comment.

And I disagree about them being existential threats to many, and to the whole current layout of the economy. It’s not designed to perform well for everyone with high unemployment rates in the first place, let alone in the Gilded Age 2.0.

Don’t forget this is all under the umbrella of the initial hypothetical where AI stalled at it’s current level. I don’t believe that existing LLMs systems will destroy the economy. They’re a tool that people are trying to fit into every hole, much like blockchain during the crypto bubble. We’ve already seen companies fire their customer service departments, try to replace them with LLMs, then have to go crawling back when that failed catastrophically.
If AI systems continue to improve, however? As I said previously, all bets are off.

Ehh, even current LLMs are good enough to fool the fools who hold the purse strings. Even you are directly admitting that. We’re already aimed for a massive recession/depression, and the extra turmoil from AI, regardless of how permanent its job losses are, may be enough to ensure it hits much greater lows to the point where it will take decades to recover if ever.
