    I don’t know that they always are. It’s easy from our nerd bubble to dismiss AI and LLMs because we understand their limitations and how they work to an extent.

    We shouldn’t look down on anyone who takes the advertising and idea that these are “intelligence” at face value. The disclaimers that say that the intelligence is fallible, just like us, are never as strongly worded as they should be. If the AI companies made things clearer, they would be de-hyping their products.

    I dunno, this whole thing is unprecedented. And the hype around it all, taken at face value, is irresponsible and misleading.
