This to me is the point.. LLMs can't be responsible for things. It sits with a human.

Why can LLMs not be responsible for things? (genuine question - I'm not certain myself).

  • because it doesn't have any skin in the game and can't be punished, and can't be rewarded for succeeding. Its reputation, career, and dignity are nonexistent.

    • On the contrary - the LLM has had it's own version of "skin in the game" through the whole of it's training. Reinforcement learning is nothing but that. Why is that less real than putting a person in prison. Is it because of the LLM itself, or because you don't trust the people selling it to you?
