There is no existential risk, they are statistical models that predict words. The fact that anyone says this makes them instantly not credible. Anyone who does is either a grifter, psychotic or both.

And you people have been repeating this meaningless phrase for over six years now. But AI hasn't gone away, now has it? Progress is speeding up. Superintelligence is coming.

Keep telling yourself that text autocomplete is super intelligence. You sound like the people who said NFTs are the future and you better get witj the program.

I use llms all the time, they're useful, nobody is saying that.

Again, saying stuff like this has not worked in your favor. Just minutes ago Anthropic release another set of models that are better across the board. This will continue.

>NFTs

NFTs are alive and well. Rent free in the hearts and minds of anti-AI people. I didn't care then and I don't care now.
