    Yeah, there’s nothing in that article to back up this claim:

    If your initial reaction to reading that and seeing that is some variation of “ughhh” or rolling your eyes or “fuck this guy” congrats. You are normal. If it wasn’t I cannot stress to you enough that you are an outlier.

    I suspect I (we) just surround ourselves with people that are likely to share our opinions on AI. But I keep hearing anecdotes about Facebook boomers, children, and corporate types just eating that shit up.

      Yeah, it’s another symptom of the same malaise that led to widespread adoption of Facebook. Great stuff for those who don’t mind (or aren’t aware of) being disempowered.

      Douglas Adams once said that one of the greatest pitfalls for an author is obviousness. LLM algorithms are based on choosing the most obvious output based on the prompts given, so by default, you’re always going to get Muzak instead of bebop. The middle-of-the-road path is bland, lukewarm, turgid soup.
