AI AInt that smart
Its took me a long time to realize this but it's true. yes, it is incredible and can enable some really great things. but I think people are too impressed with it. It's really really dumb.
I've been reading more books lately and what I keep coming up with is that, any sort of decent writing feels wayyyyy different than anything an LLM outputs. It's richer. There's more feeling. There's more information!
Contrast that with LLMs. It's thin, with no consistent internal logic, which is essential for tying ideas together. It is verbose. I was talking to someone old and actually smart recently - I was struck how, when I said something to them that I might say to an LLM, he countered with a short phrase which totally reoriented me. Never in my endless LLM conversations have I had that happen.
