    Wonder what will happen first, organizations will figure out they can’t feed LLM output directly to end users as facts or products, or LLMs will become good enough to not have the incorrect or nonsense answer problem.

      The former. Though it may not really be decided as such, rather the fad will fade, and they’ll move on to whatever the next buzzword is.

        move on to whatever the next buzzword is.

        Humanoid robots. These are almost getting into the territory where they can convince the corporate rubes, just in time for the next hype cycle.

    Guy in the thumbnail looks like he’s going to be saying “AI told us to break the law, so we’re doing it.”

      And I’m sure plenty of businesses will try that angle. Citizens United was created so individuals can distance themselves from “the corporation” and so nobody is ever held accountable because it was the corporation, not any one individual that’s unethical. It’s bullshit.

    Well it ain’t wrong. Business can absolutely do that and do absolutely do that. If they get caught they get a slap on the wrist and that’s it.

    As long as the punishment does not match the crime the American society will never get better. This is why proper rules, regulations and oversight needs to be in place. The “free” market will never do the right thing on its own.
