I have a request for everyone everywhere who's talking about AI: please stop telling me about the ELIZA chatbot. It is a boomer example that means very little in the age of LLMs, & insofar as it's instructive it's the means the opposite of what you think. https://t.co/7y5DfrSHBq

Yes god please. The LLMs don’t work like Eliza, don’t have anything at all in common with Eliza, and Eliza offers nothing instructive about what this gen of AI does. It’s clownish to keep bringing it up. This gen of LLM is not fucking autocomplete, it doesn’t have anything “canned” and is not “stealing.”

Read a fucking book, ya monkeys.
