Feels like a bit of a loop back there. "It can only ever be as smart as human output. So we'll always need humans." To... What? Create equivalent mistakes?

Should have finished reading the comment:

a human will always be needed to determine if the results make (real world) sense.

Maybe LLMs in their current form won't be the drop in replacement, but it's a critical milestone and a sign of what's around the corner.

You're right, but not in the way you think.

It's only a matter of time before these compankes start trying to simulate human brains. We need state recognition of legal personhood for digital humans /before/ corporations start torturing them for profit.

    This is why I invoked Moore's law earlier. People have already estimated how many petaflops or exaflops we need to simulate a brain's worth of neurons and a complete connectome. We currently don't have enough computer power. But if the exponential growth continues, we will get there.
