I feel like LLMs would be a fun toy, like a magic 8 ball. I mean, if they could exist without the environmental damage and grand theft of human knowledge. And the risk of AI psychosis. But this obsession with using it for everything is just nauseating.
In The Penultimate Truth by Philip K Dick one of the characters has an LLM in a box called a rhetoricizer, where you give it some keywords or a phrase and it generates copy. It’s pretty much dismissed as a toy there.

Give it time. If everyone is generating copy, we’ll all yearn for unpolished, stupid and short text.
Yeah IMO they’re brain rotting novelties at best but letting kids have access to them should be a felony.
Some Olopen models can run on some higher end phones and decent video cards. These don’t need giant data centers.
