A long read, but fascinating.

    I did, and I believe the author is the one using psych tricks. He tries to persuade readers to see things that are not there. Similar as he claims that the LLMs are doing, he prepares the scene by creating some comparison worded in a way to make them credible. But in practice none of those comparisons are true. They appear true because the author is good with words, and leave to the reader the message that LLMs are frauds. It is a well executed rhetoric exercise, but it is still non sensical. An LLM is just a model that doesn’t try to be intelligent, it tries to answer questions or, better, to complete text

      Again, it’s not about what the model tries to be. It’s about what people perceive it to be. I don’t know how you can say you read the whole article when you keep claiming it’s saying something it isn’t saying.

      If you read it all the way through, you didn’t comprehend any of it. Maybe work on that and try again.
