    Yeah like wtf why is generative AI part of this. This is standard reward function optimization from the 1970s. Throw some simulated annealing at it and check in after 30 seconds

    LLMs have limited uses but they're the only thing the entire western tech industry has decided to work with so we have to rebrand old, simple processes as being done by them

    And even then, the only way we will know if these new, unheard-of burgers are actually delicious is to give them to focus groups to do taste testing, which is currently the process.

    Do we really need an ai to tell us that "75 percent of respondents said they didnt like how sweet the bun was" means we shluld"look at reducing the sugar in the bun? I'm not sure what an AI is even doing in this process

    Haven't you heard? LLMs can replace focus groups and polls because they're already made up of averaged opinions.
