I do love some comments where people have nuanced thoughts on LLMs, so thank you for sharing them!

I'm more so undecided on them because of the social effects on them. I am all for innovation but social media hasn't been the ideal example either (Facebook famously has young girls who are insecure who might delete their pics and not upload them and would show them predatory ads on top of it with countless other examples)

I am one of the younger folks on this website and I honestly feel like it might've been much better for us in the past pre social-media perhaps.

Have we as a society ever truly reflected on innovation. Nuclear innovation comes to my mind in terms of arms race (ironically which I believe that Nuclear could've been really great for power production and I hope that it gets more looked into)

I am also unsure if regulation might make sense, regulation has been tried and nothing seems to work. I had a decent chat with simon once and sort of the conclusion from that and others seems to be that the cat is out of the box.

Thus we might have to think some more about the sentimental values instead as well and do proper evaluations on if it should be used and when.

The whole culture towards AI perhaps can be seen like a fake projection of confidence. Similar to how as you point out from the deterministic/undeterministic part of it from technical point of view as well. (Many) People are projecting AI to be completely deterministic when in reality it sort of isn't.
