So my hot take:
LLMs have got to the point where they have (more or less) encoded everything ever written by humanity. And encoded it in a gazillion dimensioned matrix so they can take a query and predict, given everything ever written, what the most likely set of words are triggered by that query - and then produce that as a sane parseable output.
I mean this is beyond awesome
But, this reminds me of Aristotle reasoning from his current set of knowledge - and ending up with Eagles having three testicles.
No matter how much reasoning we do from current knowledge, we need to test that against reality - that LLMs are great but the scientific method is greater.
Google is in trouble, yes.
But humanity needs to hold on to science and it’s precepts or we spin into a new dark ages
