Fantastic example of how smart people can be stupid.

LLMs give a fabulous illusion when you look at the just right — but when you know how they work, you can break the illusion. Richard doesn’t know how the work, so for him the illusion persists. Ironically this is the same for those who don’t believe in evolution: they don’t know how evolution works so they’re able to persist in their delusion.

Richard Dawkins once said children shouldn't read fairy stories because they encourage magical thinking, the man is a tool.
