> Where is this all leading to, if after all the billions spent and all the benchmarks beaten conclusively, LLMs still can't do reasoning, can't do world-modelling, can't do context learning and so on, and so forth?
Humans completely displaced from the workforce while they harp "but LLMs can't really think and don't really have creativity!"
Humans are being displaced because moronic business magnates are trying to force feed the country their wares but failing spectacularly so now they are forcing governments across the world to buy their wares under threat of the US government.
I think that’s more of a reflection on what employers are willing to pay for…
Agreed, but does it matter? LLMs will affect us by how much they displace the parts of us employers are willing to pay for. The "but they don't really think!" is just a cope.
