Large Language Models -- we are told -- are "intelligent." This is salesmanship, pure and simple.

One observes these various companies all want to SELL their services, so it is in large part product development and marketing. They need us to believe this is "intelligence."

By surveying massive quantities of texts of all sorts and then algorthumically processing them according to various sorts of constraining rules, these LLMs have still managed in short order to become rather like us -- i.e. not so intelligent.

And so some have had to be switched off. Unplugged. For racism. For misogyny. For a variety of bugaboos which are simply the dross of mankind, spit up as if research.

The aim is to get sales. Subscribers. Cash. And so marketing washed over us these days. Caveat emptor.
