    Nobody familiar with what an LLM actually is thinks it’s intelligent

    Even the most experienced professionals are still vulnerable to AI psychosis. The issue isn’t whether an LLM is intelligent, it’s whether a human perceives the LLM as intelligent. And, for better or worse, humans love to personify non-humans.

    My brother-in-law does work in AI. He names all his models. He talks about them like their his children. Push come to shove, he’ll tell you “they’re not intelligent”. But I’ve seen him cry over one, because the firm he was working for had to cut back his resources and he ended up needing to shelve it indefinitely.

      I’ve had to work with several llms. They’re sycophantic idiots.

      Claude has some use generating low level code, but they’re pricing themselves past a jobbing SEA dev.
