Every week I find someone arguing about the definition of AI.
Dudes, I get it, but I’m done talking about it. Call it what you want, you know we’re talking about the same thing.

“LLMs are essentially just a really fancy autocomplete. How can a fancy autocomplete do these things?
The answer so far, as described in an excellent overview in the MIT Technology Review is "nobody knows exactly how—or why—it works."
-Ethan Mollick
Best use case is cheating on your homework. LLMs (and the chips/datacenters) are a massive bubble. The only way this leads to human flourishing is if we use the saved time to actually build /make/create value in the real world. Many humans just go home early or take a long lunch…. Real work in the real world is the only way forward.
