<p>- Have you tried turning it off?<br />- Yes, but when I turned it back on, it...<br />- No no no, you misunderstood.</p>

And I get where it&#39;s coming from. But it&#39;s definitely not a useful (IMO) summary, and I think it also makes people who are less knowledgeable jump to conclusions that I am not sure are warranted. Maybe it gives them the technical cover to come to (quite reasonable) socio-political conclusions…</p>

It&#39;s saying, &quot;yes, these things are great, but they&#39;re just completing sentences/paragraphs/novels for you, and not an excuse to abdicate your critical thinking facilities&quot;</p>

And what’s wild is she was on her 3rd iPad by 2017 I think. She just took forever to get an iPhone.</p>

In a pretty fundamental sense LLMs are doing the same thing as an auto complete, just much much better, so it&#39;s only better than any auto complete if you deliberately draw the boundary based on how good it is</p>
