"We view this moment of hype around generative AI as dangerous. There is a pack mentality in rushing to invest in these tools, while overlooking the fact that they threaten workers and impact consumers by creating lesser quality products and allowing more erroneous outputs. For example, earlier this year America’s National Eating Disorders Association fired helpline workers and attempted to replace them with a chatbot. The bot was then shut down after its responses actively encouraged disordered eating behaviors. "
How does behaviour that is present in LLMs but not in SLMs show that an LLM can “think”?`It only shows that the amount of stuff an LLM can guess increases when you feed it more data. That’s not the hot take you think it is.
