Just have an AI write the books. Problem solved.

Ever feel like you've been engrossed in a play and suddenly the house lights come on and the stage decoration is flown up and there's no play or set?
That's what happened to democracy.

In their defense, they've owned the mistake and explained the process.

I would hardly call that a defense but I guess technically, sure?

For whatever it's worth, and it might be less than nothing, everything has LLM now. All.
Your favorite recpie? LLM.
Your weather forecast for the day? LLM
Your favorite author of whatever subgrenre of filth you read? LLM. Also you are stinky.
The cat is out of the bag. If anybody isn't using it, they're a liar.

Thanks, Chat GPT!
\and there are people here to use it to make arguments, and actually think they're being smart.

Rich people are going to have to learn this the hard way - just f*cking pay people a livable wage and STFU about it. There's no other options.

Hey - before you get technical on my ass, I asked one of them this question:
Large Language Models (LLMs) and Artificial Intelligence (AI) are related but distinct concepts. Here's a breakdown of the key differences and how they relate to each other:
Artificial Intelligence (AI): AI is a broad field of computer science that focuses on creating systems capable of performing tasks that typically require human intelligence, such as learning, reasoning, problem-solving, perception, and understanding language. AI encompasses a wide range of techniques and applications, including machine learning, deep learning, and generative models.
Large Language Models (LLMs): LLMs are a specific type of AI that focuses on processing and generating human-like text. They are trained on massive datasets of text and use advanced neural network architectures, such as transformers, to understand and generate coherent language. LLMs are a subset of generative AI, which is a broader category of AI systems designed to create new content based on learned patterns from vast datasets.
Key Differences:
AI: Encompasses a wide range of technologies and applications, including but not limited to text generation, image recognition, decision-making, and robotics.
LLMs: Focus specifically on text-related tasks, such as generating coherent text, translating languages, and answering questions.
Applications:
AI: Used in various industries and applications, including healthcare (diagnosis and treatment planning), finance (fraud detection and risk assessment), and autonomous vehicles (navigation and decision-making).
LLMs: Primarily used in text-heavy tasks, such as chatbots, content generation, language translation, and question-answering. However, with the advent of multimodal LLMs, they can now process and generate content based on non-text inputs like images and audio.
Technological Foundation:
AI: Utilizes a variety of techniques, including rule-based systems, machine learning, and deep learning.
LLMs: Built on advanced neural network architectures, particularly transformers, which use self-attention mechanisms to understand and generate text.
AI: Can generate a wide range of outputs, including text, images, audio, and even 3D models.
LLMs: Primarily generate text, although some multimodal LLMs can now handle other types of inputs and outputs.
Overlapping Roles:
Generative AI: A broader category that includes LLMs and other types of AI models that can create new content. For example, DALL-E generates images, Jukedeck creates music, and Runway ML produces video content.
LLMs: Specialized in text generation but are part of the broader generative AI ecosystem. They are particularly powerful for tasks that require understanding and generating human-like language.
In summary, while LLMs are a specialized subset of AI focused on text generation, AI is a broader field that includes a wide range of technologies and applications. LLMs are part of the generative AI category, which is itself a subset of AI focused on creating new content.

But that doesn't address the importance of the song Kill the Boer, which was never performed by Taylor Swift.

many LLM words
ACK! I'm very sorry. I should have said that additional response WAS made with LLM.
I'm sorry and I'm sorry about that.

They owned up to it.
In a world of doubling down on denial, that's quite rare.
/now whether they'll do anything in response to that realization
//I doubt it
