The parent post is very orthogonal to yours. That isn't saying that LLMs won't be useful -- it's saying that unverified LLMs are of limited value.
This rings true. There's a low economic value for performing activities when it doesn't matter if the output is true or accurate.
Unverified LLMs can generated unlimited output that cannot be trusted; this is output that can approximate truth at times.
I suppose the long term question is whether the approximation is sufficient for value-generating purposes. It clearly is sufficient in cases where it outperforms the status quo (example: summarizing customer feedback).
- Art9681 2y agoThis is also the case for unverified and verified humans, and one thing I can say with absolute confidence is that the majority of internet content has always, and will always be unverified opinion and ideology. As is the majority of human minds. The most valuable thing to come out of AI is the forced introspection about ourselves. It's "us" times N. For better or worse.
