I wish people would skip the nonsense and just say this, which is valid criticism and it's astonishing to me how little visible effort major labs put into fixing it. Stop having ChatGPT write in that authoritative style, have it use markers of epistemic uncertainty and convey doubt.
It may be true (I don't know enough neuroscience to say) that LLMs & human brains use similar techniques to make connections between concepts & learn. But most humans don't speak confidently & coherently about something unless they actually know it. The ones who do... well, we have words for them.

Alright I opened Twitter again and it has more content I want to see but is also a shitshow. I think reality might just be context poisoned right now and I'm going to feel dysphoric and out of sorts anywhere I choose to source Discourse from.

AI creativity is so fun and alien
I'm drawing up concept art, and then you hit 'animate' and it'll take it in truly bizarre directions - some entirely non-physical and impossible - but they emerge and some of 'em you're like "oh, we should totally add that!"

Risky post!
(This is great, fun to read and the frustrated tone throughout really does capture how it feels sometimes to be an experienced programmer trying to argue that "LLMs are actually really useful" in many corners of the internet)

we need to be building an entire civilization of rats. There should be rat buildings, rat jobs, rat races (with the cars), rat rockets, a fake rat moon, a rat cold war, rat money, rat laws, rat lawyers, etc. etc.
I believe it is our prerogative as homo sapiens to get this done

Hey, before we talk I just want you to read the following "semantic soup" of a few hundred relevant keywords that express me and what I'm all about, so that it primes the right latent space associations and we end up "in the same basin", it's quite shrimple actually ha ha.
