  • I keep seeing lots of people saying "LLMs are like compilers/assemblers for prompts"

    I think there's a broader corollary (or perhaps it's actually a central subset of what you describe).

    I always thought most people shared my experience that the exciting thing about the Internet, and good Internet search in particular, was that it offered access to the most relevant sources of information for any query. It was then on me to assess these sources and try to understand the topic at hand.

    LLMs have resoundingly demonstrated that for most people this is all too much work and reminds them of school.

    A majority of people clearly don't want to have to put in so much effort. They'd rather have an unambiguous answer that comes back and that they can treat as authoritative.

    Sidenote - this is why mansplaining is a thing.

    So, the primary (and I would argue, intended) result of the current "AI" mania is that the world is happily replumbing all its information and knowledge streams so that everyone receives whatever sanctioned propaganda those behind the curtain want to shovel out. (Pick a metaphor and stick with it ...)

    LLMs are an assault on human communication and our ability to reason, organise and plan. They are the oligarch's wet dream.

  • If an "AI" company can sell you access to software that will replace a $250k/year software engineer.

    Probably the biggest opportunity for them will be selling propaganda and disinformation services to those who want to control society.
