LLMs have amazing potential. We’re on the verge of an equivalent of the Industrial Revolution.
That however won’t stop idiots from overselling it.

Back in 2000 a company published a chat bot that could learn and communicate back with the end user.
it was used as a sex bot at first and then used for those “interactive web support” chats.
I fed it physics books and mein kampf as a joke. it then began to regurgitate random lines out of both texts. not knowing what it was saying, but certainly attempting to make me “happy” with what it “learned”.
the only difference between that shitty sex bot and LLMs of today, is that today they are a bit more convincingly human but still hilariously inaccurate. Both trying desperately to be agreeable with the end user.
the nearest “revolution” is about 300 years away. everything else is just a lie.
