> LLMs cannot “crawl pages” or “scrape” or do anything - it’s an offline archive with a few convenience methods.
Being a bit needlessly pedantic here. I think it's well understood in these circles that such models are being driven by agents, which absolutely can crawl and scrape. The only thing a human needs to do is write rules for the agent to follow.
No, it allows people to dodge accountability.
It’s also not true.
An LLM cannot visit the internet at all.
There is no “agent” - that is a marketing term. It’s software and LLM that’s it.
There is no "software" - that is a marketing term. It's bits and that's it.
Not how words work, try calling it bits in any setting where you mean software.
Wouldn’t matter in court anyway or anywhere you put it to the test even if you called it bits.
Point is dodging accountability by saying some “AI did it” when it’s not reflective of reality.
LLMs are read only and have no access to the internet :)
