Yeah, I agree with that. And their solution instead of actually fixing the problem is throwing money and computing power at it in the hope that brute force will make it "better."

Haha, well to be fair, that usually works... Most big problems could be solved by throwing effort and money at them. Hell, when I think about a lot of national issues, education, infrastructure, energy, crime, poverty, most of these could be solved by throwing money at them. And it would take less money than you might guess.

Call it a conspiracy, but I think with nobody ever telling the truth on the internet, LLM's have only taught themselves to bullshit everyone into believing them.

And yeah, you're definitely not imagining that. I'd say there's something to that theory.
