    If it worked the way that it does in sci-fi I’d have no problem with it. If it could give us cures for cancer and reactionless drives everyone would be happy.

    But it doesn’t work like that and if they keep going along the lines of Large Language Models it’ll never work like that. AI as it is right now is a barely functional toy that is being misused by virtually everyone and major businesses alike.

    I am perfectly happy for AI research to continue but they need to be realistic about its capabilities and be honest about their valuations of companies. AI research should still be at the level of “in the lab”, it is definitely not a product that should be commercially available yet.
