        Being more educated doesn’t make llms more useful. Being less educated doesn’t make them less fun.

        Problem with them is the magnitude of the push vs their usefulness. There was no need for that massive of scaling. It’s all “we must get all the investor money before we have to raise prices to become profitable”.
