We know — from first principles — that LLMs can only create AI slop.
Why do people keep needing empirical tests?
Why do people keep needing empirical tests?
The intractability proof (a.k.a. Ingenia theorem) implies that any attempts to scale up AI-by-Learning to situations of real-world, human-level complexity will consume an astronomical amount of resources (see Box 1 for an explanation). 13/n

Et la dernière. Le CERN réalise un vieux rêve d’alchimiste en transformant du plomb en or. Si cette transmutation est scientifiquement fascinante, l'or produit n'est pas exploitable. Ces données servent surtout à mieux comprendre les interactions nucléaires et protéger les équipements du LHC.

Here's a rule of thumb: If "AI" seems like a good solution, you are probably both misjudging what the "AI" can do and misframing the problem.

In the periods in history when calculation trumped imagination, Shelley argued, there was the greatest social inequality: the rich got richer and the poor got poorer as the society was torn between “anarchy and despotism.”
It takes no special technical expertise to know that
1) AI's main value proposition today is automating labor,
2) AI is going to supercharge economic inequality, and
3) If we do not get out in front of that policy-wise, we are fools.
