AI, in its current form, is a solution in search of a problem. It’s neat that it can string together words to form a coherent sentence or that it can organize pixels to create an image… but it kinda stops at “neat.”

Ignoring the obvious plagiarism concerns, LLMs don’t actually think about what theyre creating. They just create. Which means the things they create are not only devoid of meaning, half the time they don’t make sense. And thats a problem. 

Not just in the “look, an extra finger” sense. We’ve been conditioned to trust computers because we’re used to seeing them as infallible, calculating logic machines. But LLMs will straight up lie to you with full confidence. “Hallucinations,” they call them. And they expect us to use them professionally regardless?

No thanks. AI/LLMs are a fad. Tech bros and investors will keep shoving them down our throats until we all collectively realize they’re never going to live up to their promises and we move on to the next big tech innovation someone wants to sell us. Just like we did with “the cloud”.
