A bit of an aside: do you still stand by your 2022 comment that LLMs are fundamentally just a fancy search engine, or has your view changed since then?

Even if they changed in between and assuming harness and loop prompter counra as part of LLM

...

that comment 100% rings true for 2022. Why would that person not stand by that?

Conversely, if someone exaggerated 2022 models capabilities in 2022, they were still lying and causing harm in the process. Especially in 2022.

		It doesn't ring true and it never rang true. He was wrong in 2022 and he'd be wrong today. He had (and likely still has) a wrong model of LLMs. Not exaggerating 2022 capabilities and having a model so wrong you're out of whack 4 years later are 2 different things. There are people who had the right idea from the start. https://slatestarcodex.com/2019/02/19/gpt-2-as-step-toward-g...
