Fuck AI

Current LLM's make me think of Theranos. Elizabeth Holmes, as CEO of Theranos, made billions of dollars and publicly stated that their mini-lab could successfully perform 60 tests off a single drop blood. Even though it was a fraud, their machine did work on a handful of tests, but it's basically impossible to do what she claimed the mini-lab could do with a single drop of blood.

LLM's, at this point, are very, very good at simple tasks. They are going to eliminate some of the bullshit jobs that exist in the world because of it, but this is an invention that is so buggy they had to create a whole new marketing term so they wouldn't have to use the word 'bug': Hallucinations.

It's not hallucinating. It's not thinking. It's just not capable of doing what the CEO's say it can, and being that these models have trained on the whole of human knowledge and still can't perform up to promises, I don't think the future they're promising is necessarily going to materialize.

LLM's are just reasonably well-trained digital parrots.
