Obviously. Kinds that want to have had access to all of the Internet for a long time and that is not going to change. Negative effects? Quite limited and can be compensated with good parenting.

This is exclusively about surveillance fascists getting their wet dreams implemented.

Indeed. I think the experience is not different, the perception is. First, a lot of the people that really like AI-produced code probably never really debug it carefully. Run it on some test data. Works? Use it! For code security, this will be worse.

Also, people think AI coding assistants make them faster, when in reality it usually makes them slower: https://mikelovesrobots.substa...

Bottom line is, as so often, people in awe of new tech without understanding its limitations. And then bashing everybody that says they have not looked carefully. Typical crappy human behavior.

The quote you provided didn't say LLM, it said neural network. Neural networks, like any model, can interpolate or extrapolate, depending on whether the inference is between training samples or not.

LLMs are neural networks. You seem to be referring to a particular method of producing output where they predict the next token based on their conditioning and their previously generated text. It's true in the simplest sense that they're extrapolating, and reasonable for pure LLMs, but probably not really true for the larger models that use LLMs as their inputs and outputs. The models have complex states that have been shown to represent concepts larger than just the next token.

Yeah but radio ads are generic and not 2 way conversations. They are not an asking what you are saying and twisting it towards explaining why you need product X.

It will be as reliable as asking a used car salesman for advice. Somehow it's gonna be advice about how a car would for me
