I have the impression that LLM AI is good at summarising large chunks of text data like FAQs, minutes of meetings. What about learning the laws of a country and being a judge? Truly blind one.

*This* AI is not democratic in the sense that it requires huge resources to be trained and used. Very few have these. This is a huge advantage for some and disadvantage for the rest. What happens when it will become a paid service? Hundreds of self-taught programmers and web-developers read the (cheap) books and manuals in order to roll out their own programs/ideas. This will no longer be possible with the big-corporations AI. Remember Guttenberg? Or how Altair came to be and the first homebrew computer enthusiasts, affordability was key and also transparency and sharing of knowledge? Not with the big-corps AI. It is a rabbit hole leading to a snake-pit. Unless of course it becomes Democratic. But it will not be. The way I see it being marketed is that big-brother has the electrons, the transistors, the data and the models and will allow you to use them for the benefit of all of us. Yeah right!

It used to be that in the (so-called) free market if an idea sucks, it sinks and startup goes bankrupt. But with *this* AI it seems we have the same with banks: too big to fail. M$, Groogle Android et al are all trying to spoon-feed us their AI and incorporate their bots into our life, desperately, in order to at least get some money (or sellable data) out of it, though it looks to be free.

OTOH *this* AI seems to me to be very potent. If one ignores some pitfalls. Too bad it is in the hands of fools, maniacs and genocidals. "Confusion will be my epitaph".

10min Update: I would say this as a conclusion to the board:

Spend efford in trying to make AI democratic, cheaper, less demanding on resources (and the planet), open-source rather than pushing demand for the big-corps' AI. Learning was never about showing an end result/product, it used to be about the journey. That journey can not be made with big-corporations AI. To support the above I would say: stop feeding them and teach them to catch a fish.
