LLM can automate a part of the process where human might take slightly but, ultimately, any output generated by LLM cannot be trusted and should be checked by human that understands the issue...and that is actually the hard part where humans will struggle so they won't actually do it.

When human is producing the output that human is performing the following actions: -analysing the issue -analysing the exiting process -building the understanding of the existing process -building the understanding of how issue affects the existing process -producing the output to address the issue in the existing process -checking the output as it is being produced -updating the understanding of the existing process with lessons learned from the above -checking the final product to ensure that it has solved the original issue and hasn't broken some other part of the system

LLM can help speed up one of those steps (producing the output) at the expense of slowing down the other parts (which were already slow) and reducing the understanding and reliability of the existing system which will make future iterations even slower.

LLM can be used to speed up the generation of examples but just like in the past you could not just copy the example from some random internet search result, you should not just copy the LLM output without understanding it...and that is the slow part where LLM might not help (and might actually make worse) for most people.

And when in the past you encountered comprehensive and well documented output you could assume human that put that amount of effort actually understood what they were doing and wouldn't have expended that much effort to generate garbage, you cannot make that same assumption now with LLMs.

Based on that, everyone who is claiming current "AI" technology is any kind of intelligence has either fallen for the hype sold by the "AI" tech companies or is the "AI" tech company (or associated) and is trying to sell you their "AI" model subscription or getting you to invest in it.

>Can we please start making open hardware without Apple/google backdoors and stop pretending our systems are "secure". Few try...and either fail or languish in obscurity. You comment in itself is the proof that open hw cannot compete since you don't know of these open hw platforms and don't use them even tough you seem to advocate their creation here.

>Can we please write all software in Rust... Rust only eliminates memory safety issues of C/C++. There are large number of languages, some decades older than Rust, that provide various aspects of Rust memory safety without imposing the same limits...and some are being used but people always flock to either new and flashy or the most widely used. Besides, Rust still provides ample foot guns and pushes reliance on 3rd party libraries which replaces memory safety issues with supply chain issues. Not to mention the the very poor ergonomics of the language that purposefully shies away from a lot of syntax sugar that makes writing and reading (understanding) code easier.

>Can we please use distributed systems to avoid censorship or holding our private information in the hands of the rich? Even if you managed to persuade a lot of people to use these, some nodes will become popular/trusted and be targeted for censorship and propaganda and that will achieve the same result as the current model. Again, it is the nature of the beast.

What can be done? I don't know, probably nothing...things have to get to the point where most people are compelled to act because the alternative is death or worse, until such time there will just not be enough support for action to matter. Just how people are.
