Technology

LLMs are dead end tech which is only useful for people who want to do unethical shit. They're good at lying, making up nonsense, sounding like humans, facilitating scams, and misleading people. No matter how much time and energy is spent developing them, that's all they'll ever be good at. They can get better at doing those things, but they'll never be good at anything actually useful because of the fact that there is no internal logic going on in them. When it tells you the moon is made of various kinds of rock, the exact same thing is happening as when it tells you the moon is made of cheese and bread. It has no way of distinguishing between these two statements. All of its 'ideas' are vapor, an illusion, smoke and mirrors. It doesn't "understand" anything it's saying, all it does is generate text that looks like something someone who does understand language would say. There is no logic in the background and there cannot be.
