Artificial Intelligence (AI) "is an imitation of human thinking, not a substitute for it"


"AI can offer a lot of value. But it is an imitation of human thinking, not a substitute for it. AI depends on human-generated material, and even if it not legally required to do, it will have to find a way to direct a portion of its revenues to renew the basic resource it depends on: human writers, artists, and other creators."
~ Robert Tracinski, from his post 'Piano Rolls, Betamax, and ChatGPT'

LLMs aren't even, strictly speaking, an imitation of human thinking.

As much as it *is* a useful tool, an LLM is as Jamie Zawinski called it, "spicy autocomplete".
