Yes? They know, they'e always known. Why do you think they've been saying, since GPT-2, not ChatGPT even, that their LLMs needs careful study before being released?

Well obviously they have - but the press and the common folk still treat these people as some kind of geniuses, when they are obviously more similar to that junior dev using some framework without understanding its internals.

FWIW, none of the press or public I see regard them that highly (but, I live in Berlin); mostly it's the technically minded people who see them as geniuses (because we can't get those jobs), while the general public find examples which the AI can't do (strawberry, walk to car wash) and share them around with disappointment, wondering "why can't these teams fix such simple bugs?"

		> while the general public find examples which the AI can't do We must have very different experiences with the general public then, because from my interactions, some non-tech demographics who are leaning way too much into it: - teachers - realtors - generic "office worker", - and even some doctors! What is common to all of them - it would seem they are highly unaware of the technology deficiencies, as they seem to use it routinely and daily - thus considering it as some kind of upgraded google search.
