As a programmer: most people vastly overestimate the efficacy of large language models.

CEOs seem to overestimate them even more than everyone else.

A lot of AI researchers think LLMs are a dead end (See: Timnit Gebru) because by their structure they cannot understand truth.

The "hallucinations" are intrinsic to the structure and the best minds are saying there's no way around that.

We might be able to cludge together filters over it but at some point that's just hard coding the world anyways, which is what LLMs are supposed to avoid.

As a data scientist, people seem to just attribute anything that is a computer and they don't understand to AI or worse ChatGPT. Shudder

I prefer people misattributing everything to AI over people using the word "auto-magic-ally" to describe anything happening on the back end.
