Because the techies who are vaunting #GenAI and hoping that the malevolent Trump government helps to prop up the sagging fad (that's always been the ultimate daydream of #tech weenies, being propped up by the government, as with the tax-preparation #software grift) are the stupidest geniuses on Earth, they're easily dazzled by extremely unimpressive LLM feats.

But it's far worse than that: because these techies know NOTHING outside their narrow range of increasingly obsolescent technical expertise, because the elite #programming folks are more than likely to know NOTHING about writing or painting or translation or any of the other things that they're convinced ought to be taken out of the hands of sheeplike humanity and given to their "AGI superintelligence", these high-tech clowns seem unable to realize the degree to which LLMs are very obviously far worse than human beings at basically everything.

Needless to say, high-tech #journalism of the @arstechnica sort has also failed to notice just how far short LLMs actually fall. And I'm not just talking about the confabulation, or "hallucination" as the tech weenies incorrectly call it, because they know zero about psychology beyond memorizing a lot of fancy words from medical literature. Ars Technica and @Businessweek et alii faithfully transmit the wide-eyed stupidity of #technology leaders into print, accepting their "optimism" at face value and thereby ripping up journalistic ethics and throwing them in the trash.

Probably all the journalists of Ars Technica &c. are on the take, hoping to get rich themselves through #investment in high-tech fads, and thus their reportage is hopelessly corrupt.

(etc.)
