Brute force bit banging is not intelligence.

I'm willing to make an exception for you.

LLMs are just big inefficient search engines. They are not intelligent. They just regurgitate random stuff they found on the Internet and format it nicely.
The human brain (or that of any animal, for that matter) is incredibly efficient, using less than 100 Watts and is a lot more capable than any LLM. The brain is actually intelligent.
So yes, LLMs are a dead end.

Cops get point for arresting people. No problem if it's the wrong person.
Flock cameras give them lots of "suspects" to arrest. It's a win for the cops.

Fossil Fuel prices are not likely to come down for years.

Abuse workers and foment a workers revolution.
AI is not that dumb.

They have yet to have a fully successful mission.
Still in debug phase.
Good luck.
