    …sure. But the chances your grandmother will suddenly sprout wheels are close to zero. The possibility of us all getting buttfucked by some AI with a god complex (other scenarios are available) is very real.

      Have you ever talked to generative AI? They’re nothing but glorified chatbots with access to a huge dataset to pull from. They don’t think, they’re not even intelligent, let alone sentient. They don’t even learn on their own without help or guidance.

        I mostly agree, but just five years ago, we had nothing as sophistacted as these LLMs. They really are useful in many areas of work. I use them constantly.

        Just try and imagine what a few more years of work on these systems could bring.
