@parismarx From a business perspective, the biggest thing about LLMs is not what they can actually do but how they can wash away responsibility. That's a *huge* deal to the rentier class, and "AI" proponents are well aware of it.

@jargoggles @Obdurodon @parismarx this this this. AI will be yet another scapegoat for companies to continue to make worse and worse decisions. there is ALWAYS someone behind the machine, enacting the decisions and/or allowing the AI's rulings to be honored. therefore, it is still ultimately a decision made by humans. sickening that our most powerful technology to date is already being used to continually reinforce rotten power structures and systems... |

Companies have been pretending like nobody is personally responsible for shitty behavior for a long time by saying "it's just policy." However, people have always known that, at some level, people wrote those policies.
Much more recently, it's gotten worse when they can say "it's just the algorithm." Sure, people wrote the algorithms, but they're much more arcane than a written document.
LLMs are going to escalate this even further.
