Large language models (LLMs) cannot currently produce work to the highest human standards and are unlikely to do so in the future.

"This is, unfortunately, quite a bleak world: it's a world where there is still space for real skill and care, but also one where a significant minority of the population is stuck pointing #LLMs at each other and rotting their brains away in the process" — @iris_meredith #LLM #GenAI There's little that's "inevitable" about AI | deadSimpleTech https://deadsimpletech.com/blog/llms-arent-inevitable

"An #LLM absolutely cannot produce work to the highest human standards, or even a good human standard at the moment, and it's unlikely that it ever will. Most human work, however, is not done at a good standard. At best it's mediocre, and at worst it's downright horrible" — @iris_meredith #GenAI There's little that's "inevitable" about AI | deadSimpleTech https://deadsimpletech.com/blog/llms-arent-inevitable

"LLMs might have meaningful applications in hybrid warfare, as in the use of chemical weapons as a terror weapon (the recent rise of #LLM-backed cyberattacks and LLM astroturfing bots genuinely concerns me), but remain uncompetitive when it comes to actually doing work of substance" — @iris_meredith #GenAI There's little that's "inevitable" about AI | deadSimpleTech https://deadsimpletech.com/blog/llms-arent-inevitable

"for the moment... there's considerable belief in the power and potency of #LLMs: a belief that is convenient for a lot of people but also fundamentally irrational" — I'm very slightly misquoting @iris_meredith here, but I doubt this will cause offence. #LLM #GenAI There's little that's "inevitable" about AI | deadSimpleTech https://deadsimpletech.com/blog/llms-arent-inevitable
