Let's not pretend statistical models are approaching humanity. The companies who make these statistical model algorithms proved they couldn't in 2020 by OpenAI and also 2023 DeepMind papers they published.

To reiterate, with INFINITE DATA AND COMPUTE TIME the models cannot approach human error rates. It doesn't think, it doesn't emulate thinking, it statistically resembles thinking to some number below 95% and completely and totally lacks permanence in it's statistical representation of thinking.

I think most people understand that these LLM cannot think or reason, they're just really good tools that can analyze data, recognize patterns, and generate relevant responses based on parameters and context. The people who treat LLM chatbot like they're people have much deeper issues than just ignorance.

I don't know if it's an urban myth, but I've heard about 20% of LLM inference time and electricity is being spend on "hello" and "thank you" prompts. :)

It's a very real thing. So much so that OpenAI actually came out and publicly complained about how it's apparently costing the company millions.
