Most likely LLMs (and this is what we mean when we talk about the latest AI 'craze') will find useful purposes in some situations, almost always as an adjunct to a human (see Centaur Chess).
Perhaps LLMs' biggest contribution to social progress will be wrecking social media, as you have kindly demonstrated. Nobody wants to talk to a machine.

"ChatGPT has 180.5 million users, generates $80 million/month revenue, and crossed over 10 billion all-time visits (1.43B visits in August 2023)" If you can't understand why normal people like having a human like chat interface to a machine then you're a bit out of touch.
- somewhereoutth 3y agoI don't actually know any normal (i.e. outside IT) people that have talked to or are even slightly interested in talking to ChatGPT. The user figures will have been inflated as they are with any public facing platform, the money is largely VCs jumping on the hype, and the all-time visits will be pumped by automated services attempting (and likely failing) to demonstrate value.
- ianbutler 3y agoWeird, I do know normal people who do. I also know businesses who have it integrated with normal people talking to it. Personally, I think you're just cynical here. I'm not going to choose to take your opinion on this just because when I continue to see concrete evidence to the contrary.
- chezelenkoooo 3y agoI mean, even if you take one tenth of those figures that's still 18 million people.
