    The first problem is the name. It’s NOT artificial intelligence, it’s artificial stupidity.

    People BOUGHT intelligence but GOT stupidity.

          It obfuctates its sources, so you don’t know if the answer to your question is coming from a relevant expert, or the dankest corners of reddit…it all sounds the same after it’s been processed by a hundred billion GPUs!

      People will accept either intelligence or stupidity. They will pay for a flattering sycophant.

      It’s frustrating because they used the technical term in a knowingly misleading way.

      LLMs are artificial intelligence in the same way that a washing machines load and soil tuning systems are. Which is to say they are intelligent, but so are ants, earthworms, and slime molds. The detect stimuli, and react based on that stimuli.

      They market it as though “artificial intelligence” means “super human reasoning”, “very smart”, or “capable of thought” when it’s really a combination of “reacts to stimuli in a meaningful fashion” and “can appear intelligent”.
