It’s absolutely mad that LLM hallucinations are “socially accepted,” and that the population seems to be kept ignorant of them. It’d be like not requiring a license to drive cars, and completely obscuring anything about how they work, locking steering behind a corporate subscription connection, and then calling running people over a “cost of advancement; the next car will be better, we promise!”

…I know why.

Education would reduce engagement. Big Tech can’t have that.

But still. It’s mad. These text models should be presented as primitive aids, like they were designed to be. Not freaking do-anything magic lamps.
