Hopefully these cases will get viral to the general public, so that everyone becomes more aware that despite the words "intelligence", "reasoning", "inference" being used and misused, in the end it is no more than a magic trick, an illusion of intelligence.

That being said, I also have hopes in that same technology for its "correlation engine" aspect. A few decades ago I read an article about expert systems; it mentioned that in the future, there would be specialists that would interview experts in order to "extract knowledge" and formalize it in first order logic for the expert system. I was in my late teens at that time, but I instantly thought it wasn't going to fly: way too expensive.

I think that LLMs can be the answer to that problem. One often reminds that "correlation is not causation", but it is nonetheless how we got there; it is the best heuristic we have.

I am not optimistic on that. Having met people from "general public" and in general low-effort-crowd who use them, I am really not optimistic.
