And my grandmother doesn't have wheels until she does.
...sure. But the chances your grandmother will suddenly sprout wheels are close to zero. The possibility of us all getting buttfucked by some AI with a god complex (other scenarios are available) is very real.
Have you ever talked to generative AI? They're nothing but glorified chatbots with access to a huge dataset to pull from. They don't think, they're not even intelligent, let alone sentient. They don't even learn on their own without help or guidance.
I mostly agree, but just five years ago, we had nothing as sophistacted as these LLMs. They really are useful in many areas of work. I use them constantly.
Just try and imagine what a few more years of work on these systems could bring.
