This is meant to hide the fact that since 2009 CNN has been using chatbots to produce articles?
The first private LLMs were being used more than a decade before public LLMs were available. Before that term was in common parlance.
Exactly. Now imagine what kinda crazy shit they have tucked away in Area 57
In 2009, websites were hiring Third Worlders off Fiverr or Mechanical Turk to write blog posts for a dollar or two apiece. The A.I. has automated the Third Worlders out of a job and probably produces better quality work.
I was writing LLMs in the 80s. I followed the instructions in Scientific American and Godel, Escher, Bach.
Is Gödel, Escher, Bach worth the read, or the purchase? I heard it mentioned by (probably) someone else not long ago.
I read it as a book of puzzles, it doesn't want to be described in one sentence and I probably didn't finish reading it through until adulthood. It weaves the theme of self-awareness to explore what we do with life and what we think we want computers to do (in the 80s) and then applies the truth no system is perfect to demonstrate the zen of never really knowing it all anyway. If you have a lot of time to pursue many Carrollian wordplay and logicplay fugal voices to get a roundabout view of the braided thesis, go for it, it's still relevant; but otherwise check out Hofstadter's articles and shorter books to get a feel first.
