I really enjoyed this article about how LLMs “fool” people into believing they’re actually intelligent. I especially enjoyed this because at a corporate event, I got to see Oz the Mentalist who was incredible.
He did literally every single one of the things mentioned in this article. Down to interviewing people before the show, but did it in this crazy sly way that didn’t make you suspicious.
Anyway, for quite a while, I was genuinely dumb founded by how many intelligent people I knew were constantly spouting “wait til GPT-6 bro!” When I’d tell them LLMs are dumb and just fancy autocomplete.
But I’ve been reading more and more and I realized two things. First, it’s great marketing but second, people are so hopeless these days, they’re hoping a rock we’ve tricked into doing math will eliminate the bad things in their lives. Spoiler: it wont.
