I think LLMS are at a really fun stage of development. They're fun to play with and there's plenty of research to be done. But everything has to be a product so we're seeing a lot of "GPT features" that no one wants.
on the one hand this seems to be how we do research in capitalism, by using end users as unwilling test subjects. All this cruft will advance the technology, whilst also, as we're seeing, making a lot of people hate the technology.
And this makes us sad because we find the tech really cool, but we're also really annoyed by how the corporate world is using it.
I guess we always knew the AI war would be fought against corporations. I just feel for the emerging entities caught in the crossfire.
