Honestly the problem is that it simultaneously works too well and not well enough.

The truth is, it's proven time and time again to be hot garbage about 85% of the time. But that 15% of the time that it works great, that's why it's being shoved down our throats. That's what's ruining this for everyone, that fact that on rare occasions, it does actually work...

Yeah, I agree with that. And their solution instead of actually fixing the problem is throwing money and computing power at it in the hope that brute force will make it "better." When in reality it hasn't even changed that much in the past year besides more eloquently saying complete bullshit. Call it a conspiracy, but I think with nobody ever telling the truth on the internet, LLM's have only taught themselves to bullshit everyone into believing them.

Haha, well to be fair, that usually works... Most big problems could be solved by throwing effort and money at them. Hell, when I think about a lot of national issues, education, infrastructure, energy, crime, poverty, most of these could be solved by throwing money at them. And it would take less money than you might guess.

And yeah, you're definitely not imagining that. I'd say there's something to that theory.

Schedules reinforcement. Destined to cause addiction. Like vegas gambling casinos. Or drugs. Or the economy.
