I don't want AI bitches, I want hope and stability in an increasingly uncertain and chaotic world :(

Hedonism does not feel like a satisfying purpose. In that case, why not take it a couple steps further and get hooked to automatic feeding tubes and heroin for the rest of ones life.

Tough question. We definitely still seem to follow biological instincts, but birthrates keep falling. Some seek purpose in religion, but that is falling out of favor too. Some in their career, but if we assume "Human Zoo" scenario...

It doesn’t know what red is. It doesn’t know what a dog is

This is very philosophical, but what is understanding of something? Isn't it just relationships between different concepts? LLM currently encode information similarly in their multidimensional vector space. Where a "dog" vector would be close to "animal" "pet" "breed" etc vectors and those in turn to other similar concepts and so on. How different is it from human way of understanding?

LLMs cannot do that. LLMs have to be retrained with data in a very specific format from the start

Sure, that is true right now. But in not-so-distant future, it is not unreasonable to assume AI would be able to improve itself without as much (or any) human intervention. For example it could streamline training, automatically collect new data from across the world in real time. Be able to access its own weights in the model, increase improvement efficiency possibly exponentially even.
