You haven't noticed how often people here on hacker news lap up LLM company press releases and practically worship them? Defend them vigorously? I think it's totally appropriate to remind everyone how to think about press releases

Conversely you haven't noticed how many people here and elsewhere say that LLMs are completely incapable of anything at all and everything they say is a lie?

One of the biggest issues is the complete lack of literacy of potential issues with AI systems by a large number of people involved. If an AI system is capable, it is unsafe. They cannot be made safe and useful in the same way a human cannot be made safe and useful.

The only question left is if our AI systems are capable.

That's cause many people here work for AI companies and have massive vested interests in propagating & hyping the bubble.
