They won’t be honest and explain it to you but I will. Takes like the one you’re responding to are from loathsome pessimistic anti-llm people that are so far detached from reality they can just confidently assert things that have no bearing on truth or evidence. It’s a coping mechanism and it’s basically a prolific mental illness at this point
And what does that make you? A "loathsome clueless pro-llm zealot detached from reality"? LLMs are essentially next word predictors marketed as oracles. And people use them as that. And that's killing them. Because LLMs don't actually "know", they don't "know that they don't know", and won't tell you they are inadequate when they are. And that's a problem left completely unsolved. At the core of very legitimate concerns about the proliferation of LLMs. If someone here sounds irrational and "coping", it very much appears to be you.

So not unlike an LLM then?
