Right??? I’m continually floored by how many genuinely smart people I come across who ignore this concept, which is one of the biggest reasons I just don’t trust LLMs in a general sense. Like sure, I can use them fairly effectively, but the vast majority of the people who interact with LLMs don’t use a level of caution with them that’s appropriate.

And that doesn't even touch on the huge ethical (and legal) issues around how LLM devs acquire and use training data.

Dogs are way more intelligent than that. LLM tech is basically a way to quickly breed fruit flies to fly right or left when they see a particular pattern.

I mean, I totally agree with you. But that also kinda ignores all the useful things a dog can be trained to do.
