I mean I think the biggest problem with the LLM community is that a sizable portion of not a majority of it consists of the exact same opportunistic "ground floor" people as just jumped off of cryptocurrency as the "thing they refuse to shut up about" which is all well and good when it's an exciting new thing that might change the world, but gets notably more insufferable when it's obviously just the newest route that person sees to getting greater amounts of money and/or social media clout, and they clearly do not know anything about it beyond it's potential to do those things. The colloquial term for that, I think, being "grifter." And to be clear, LLMs are not unique in their ability to draw in those types of insufferable people: see the aforementioned comment about crypto, it was the last big one, and before that probably dropshipping. But I digress. And I bring all that up to say: no, the vast majority of people, I don't think expect the computer to come to life and tell them it loves them. I think the vast majority, in fact, don't know a fucking thing about LLMs beyond maybe the rote copy/pasted code it takes to bring one into existence, or if we're being honest, more likely, the websites to put their credit card information into to gain access to one for their use, and that shift in base assumptions I think explains why they speak so incoherently: they do not understand it in any depth, and thereofre, they might think the computer will come to life, because they don't know much about computers in general and to a layman, what an LLM does can indeed look like a vague imitation of life. Like, I mean this in the nicest way possible though just by virtue of what I'm going to say, it is going to sound mean, but: tons of the really big pro-AI hype people just, clearly, bluntly, full disclosure, do not know shit about LLM. Quite a large slice of that pie also don't know shit about technology in general, or seemingly, much of anything beyond a business degree? But irrespective of that, to the wider world who aren't in this and don't participate in the groups at hand... those are your representatives, by default. The attention economy has produced them and you have my most sincere sympathies for that.
