A long read, but fascinating.

    The article imply a fraud in the LLMs… Compares it to psychs

    Non sense. They are just tools. One can like them or not

      No it doesn’t. It doesn’t claim they’re frauds. It claims that people are seeing things in them that aren’t there and giving them abilities they don’t have. I don’t think you read it all the way through.

        I did, and I believe the author is the one using psych tricks. He tries to persuade readers to see things that are not there. Similar as he claims that the LLMs are doing, he prepares the scene by creating some comparison worded in a way to make them credible. But in practice none of those comparisons are true. They appear true because the author is good with words, and leave to the reader the message that LLMs are frauds. It is a well executed rhetoric exercise, but it is still non sensical. An LLM is just a model that doesn’t try to be intelligent, it tries to answer questions or, better, to complete text

          If you read it all the way through, you didn’t comprehend any of it. Maybe work on that and try again.
