We could take the same dollars, develop publicly-owned models based on consensually-gathered data, made of entirely open-source and open-weights code, and enable a thousand independent, responsible innovators to spring up instead. WTF is Bernie doing?

And it would still hallucinate and waste your time, at best.

I mean... there are things a tool can do? Like, algorithms are algorithms.

Which algorithm is "AI"? LLMs hallucinate. They don't store knowledge or reason. They store statistical relationships between words. They are essentially a lossy index, without any original sources to reference. The indices are built from unvetted and regurgitated hallucinated data. GIGO.

sure. and people routinely use them for tasks where those shortcomings aren't necessarily disqualifying. as you know.

People hit themselves in the face with hammers to be more attractive, too. Whether those shortcoming are disqualifying is a matter of opinion. To say nothing of AI psychosis and sycophancy. There's nothing "AI" does better than a human except generating slop quicker. I prefer life with less slop.
