The core of my critical perspective on AI technology is that LLMs can't really produce artificial intelligence because they can only produce meaningful text & manipulate language tokens. But you'll believe they're artificial intelligence if you think that's all intelligent thought is at all.

“American Pie” by Don McLean. Mediocre poetry trying to sound profound but never escapes its pathetic nostalgia that goes on much too long & was played mercilessly on the oldies station my mom & I would listen to on the way to school every morning.

This is real. Google AI Overview really said this at the top of a search. It interpreted as literal a joke on a cybersecurity company's website. This technology will not be worth $1-trillion.

If this really is who this DOGE team is wrecking the US federal government, they’ll either become the biggest legal scapegoats in America or the most productive investigative sources in the history of the Witness Protection Program.
