Unfortunately the majority of people are idiots who just do this in real life, parroting populous ideology without understanding anything more than the proper catchphrase du jour. And there are many employed professionals who are paid to read a script, or output mundane marketing content, or any "content". And for that, LLMs are great.

It's the elevator operator of technology as applied to creative writers. Instead of "hey intern, write the next article about 25 things these idiots need to buy and make sure 90% of them are from our sponsors" it goes to AI. The writer was never going to purchase a few different types of each product category, blindly test them and write a real article. They are just shilling crap they are paid to shill making it look "organic" because many humans are too stupid to not know it's a giant paid for ad.

I once ran an LLM locally using Kobold AI. Said thing has an option to show the alternative tokens for each token it puts out, and what their probably for being chosen was. Seeing this shattered the illusion that these things are really intelligent for me. There's at least one more thing we need to figure out before we can build an AI that is actually intelligent.

It's cool what statistics can do, though.

I've know people in my life who put less mental effort into living their lives than LLMs put into crafting the most convincing lies you've ever read

So... LLMS are... teenagers?

The reason it's dangerous is because there are a significant number of jobs and people out there that do exactly that. Which can be replaced....
