Indeed, I gather you did not comprehend the threads topics, and instead introduced a straw-man arguing at some point in the future LLM proponents will be less full of steaming piles of fictional hype.

Assertion:

1.) LLMs mislabeled “AI” is dangerous to students due to biasing them with subtle nonsense, and a VR girlfriend convincing a kid to kill themselves. Again the self referential nature of arguing the trends will continue toward AGI is nonscientific reasoning (a.k.a. moving the goal post because the “AI” buzzword lost its meaning due to marketing hype), but this is economically reasonable nonsense rhetoric.

2.) Software developers can be improved or replaced with LLMs. This was proven to be demonstrably false for experienced people.

3.) LLMs are intelligent or will become intelligent. This set of arguments show a fundamental misunderstanding of what LLMs are, and how they function.

4.) Joel may be a USB connected turnip. While I can’t disprove this self presented insight, it may be true at some point in the future.

I still like you, even if at some point you were reprogrammed to fear your imagination. =3
