We must sacrifice general-purpose computing so we can have Emma Watson pron.

The only good news is that I replaced all of our Windows computers over the last three years because Steam stopped running on Windows 7 and then Microsoft said the old ones aren't allowed to run Windows 11. So at least I don't need a new PC for a while.

Indeed. Hallucinations cannot be "turned off" in an LLM. At the same time, an LLM is not an intelligence with any reasonable definition of the term. It is also completely unsuitable to be used as an "agent", unless occasional completely wrong actions and a high level of vulnerability to attacks are not a problem. I do not see any practical scenarios where that would be the case, except as support for attackers. Attackers do not care if a high number of attack fail, they only care that some succeed.

Comment Re:Somebody asked what problem (Score 2) 45

No. The "problem" that LLMs are pushed as "being able to solve" is wages.

First, wages are not actually a problem. If you want a market, people need to be able to buy products. Second, LLMs have so far proven incapable and incompetent in anything that would have been a real killer. They will continue to do so.

Hence we will get (if the manage to bring down the cost massively, which is a big if) somewhat better search that occasionally returns total crap, cheap generation of low quality graphics and music and, maybe, some specialist LLMs that solve some actual problems, but nothing earth-shattering.
