Which part? They rode Clydesdales in Krull. It was a super weird choice.

Ah, I needed an Incognito tab to figure that out. It was an /ignore list problem. Looked like a total non-sequiter on my screen.

Yes, that's absolutely true. It's not a given. Nor is it a given that they won't.

Isn't it bizarre that so many people, all around the world, have been brain-washed into thinking LLMs are doing something useful, when clearly the results are all garbage and everybody is losing productivity. Thank god there are a handful of people able to recognize the truth!

In fact, this could be the basis of a whole new RPG. You play a random game enthusiast who, thanks to your participation in an echo-chamber online forum about your hobby, are one of the few to be inoculated against a techno-threat to which the rest of the world is blind. Your mission: to insult and disparage the brainwashed masses until they agree with you, thus saving the world.

This is over the line. If you can’t make your point without a blanket attack on how stupid we all are, you’d best consider not making that point.

Gotcha. Sorry.

Indeed. I don’t know what will happen in the future, but there is certainly a chance that LLMs will prove to be a dead end. Something else will be better, as LLMs may have built in flaws at the base concept level which prevent them from achieving reliable accuracy. They can’t reason, and so they will never be able to figure out what is correct, as opposed to what reply is common.

It's basically a given. They are already hitting the point of diminishing returns. Each new generation needs many times more training data and processing power than the last. Soon there will be no more data left to train them and no data center will have enough electricity and water to process it. And that is without so much AI slop poisoning the well already.

Eventually, the AI centers will have to start hiring humans to create more training data, since training an AI produced data has well documented problems. The thing eats its own tail.

Wow.

I was being facetious, but some of you actually believe it.

You are unaware of Poe's Law?

Careful...that's starting to sound like a personal attack and....oh, wait, you're in the anti-AI crowd, and I'm not.

Never mind, you're good. Carry on.

I hadn't meant it as an attack, I was really asking.
