this is good it is still obscenely stupid your smartphone can perform complex maths far faster than you can, or anyone else can this is little different the usefulness of these systems is in parsing huge, seemingly unrelated/meaningless data sets, to find patterns and otherwise make sense of them. google, meta, microsoft, have been collecting mountains of user data for over a decade. to the extent it has been useful, but there is still untold riches to be gleaned from what they already have, and far more opportunities to collect more relevant information (and sell it between one another). it's no surprise all of them are involved in llms. but recall the nsa's meta data collection scheme, unveiled courtesy of snowden. the nsa couldn't even use the data they were collecting. it was "useless". but, it was still being collected at unprecedented scale so at some point in the future it could hypothetically be scraped to output some sort of useful information, or else leads at worst. llms are that, and they will be used to best determine how to manipulate you into wanting black dildos, and directing you to the most competitive vendor to buy them.
