It's almost as these are next token prediction models that are great at mimicry but have no concept of truth!

I feel a little sad that I don't get to appreciate LLMs for the amazing technical achievements that they are, because right from the off their creators and owners and cheer teams have been overhyping them to absurd levels. How I wish for a prominent figure in tech to come out and say "machine learning is great but there's no reason to think any AI is going to develop any kind of human-like cognitive ability because brains aren't statistical models and it would be best for all of us to just stop comparing AIs to minds".
