A better analogy is a machine gun that they think is a hammer.

Everyone I know who uses LLMs fundamentally misunderstands what they are and how they work. The AI branding is incredibly misleading, almost like a marketing ploy.

It is a marketing ploy, the AI itself is designed to cut you out of the loop and convince you it knows better

Not convince you. Convince your boss. Which is likely much easier too, considering they are not always software engineers.

There’s nothing intelligent about it, it’s just pattern recognition which is the same thing that old automation and robotics platforms used. The ability to infer still derives from the pattern recognition and the logic is heavily underweighted in models imo it’s just a metric fuck load of foundational training data and pattern recog

It's basically autocomplete and chatbot technology based on a large amount of data.

"AI"

What if we play Plinko but the bottom is text. Also we do it in a loop.
