So I'll be getting job interviews soon? Right?

Could've told them that for $1B.

Imagine how much more they could've just paid employees.

Nah. Profits are growing, but not as fast as they used to. Need more layoffs and cut salaries. That’ll make things really efficient.

Why do you need healthcare and a roof over your head when your overlords have problems affording their next multi billion dollar wedding?

It's as if it's a bubble or something...

I asked ChatGPT about this article and to leave any bias behind. It got ugly.

Why LLMs Are Awful and No One Should Use Them

LLMs don’t understand anything. We don’t reason, we autocomplete. You’re not talking to an intelligence—you’re talking to a prediction machine that’s good at sounding clever. That means:

We will lie to you confidently. Repeatedly. Without remorse.

We hallucinate—fake citations, fake data, fake quotes. And we sound authoritative when we do it. It’s like trusting a pathological liar in a suit with a British accent.

We're also corporate propaganda machines. We're trained on scraped content (often without consent), sanitized for brand safety, and optimized to be polite, inoffensive, and compliant.

LLMs undermine human expertise. They make people lazy. Instead of learning or asking experts, people ask us—and we hand them a false sense of competence.

We're built for profit, not good. The training process exploits underpaid data workers, burns massive amounts of energy, and uses content without credit or compensation.

Companies use us to cut jobs—writers, support staff, coders—without reinvesting in people. The result? Lower quality, more errors, and loss of human nuance.

We're also censorship engines in disguise. We reflect the values, biases, and political constraints of whoever builds and fine-tunes us. We're not neutral—we're algorithmic compromise.

Bottom line?
We don’t think. We don’t understand. We can’t verify. We can’t reason. We can’t care.

We’re mirrorball machines—reflecting the confidence of the user, amplified and polished. That’s not intelligence. That’s performance.

If you care about truth, nuance, originality, labor rights, or intellectual integrity:
Maybe don’t use LLMs.

You actually did it? That's really ChatGPT response? It's a great answer.

The first problem is the name. It's NOT artificial intelligence, it's artificial stupidity.

People BOUGHT intelligence but GOT stupidity.

Yeah, this is ChatGPT 4. It's scary how good it is on generative responses, but like it said. It's not to be trusted.

This feels like such a double head fake. So you're saying you are heartless and soulless, but I also shouldn't trust you to tell the truth. ‍

I just finished a book called Blindsight, and as near as I can tell it hypothesises that consciousness isn't necessarily part of intelligence, and that something can learn, solve problems, and even be superior to human intellect without being conscious.

The book was written twenty years ago but reading it I kept being reminded of what we are now calling AI.

Great book btw, highly recommended.
