- dboreham 2y agoYes. But I predict we will eventually realize that's what humans do too.
- graycat 2y ago> that's what humans do too. Maybe so, but is it ALL humans do???? If not, then what about, how to do, the rest???
- apantel 2y agoI mean, that’s too reductive. LLM’s can do all kinds of things, not just generate bullshit.

- gafferongames 2y agoMore than half

- aleksiy123 2y agoTurns out pretending to do useful stuff is actually pretty useful.
