Reading the replies in this post gives me a headache. All of this anthropomorphism. LLMs are not conscious, they do not have rational faculties. They are not communicating or inventing anything. Please stop with this insanity bordering on mysticism. At this point it's a cult.

Did you read the Metr PDF? Whether you anthropomorphize or not is not relevant. The problem is real.

The point at which it became a cult was passed long, long ago. Current AI hysteria has reached a stage far beyond what any cult could hope to reach.

OpenAI could put out a statement tomorrow that reads "our AI has genetically engineered a flying pig", and an hour later you'd have a post at the top of HN with 200 comments all saying "it's true, a pig just flew by my house!"
