The Fever Has Broken When It Comes To My Summer Magical Thinking About LLMs

I spent all weekend long allowing myself to indulge into some pretty extensive magical thinking when it comes to LLMs. I had all these ideas cooked up that I thought “proved” that the fucking Singularity was already here.

But, today, I got tired of such thinking.

I just have no proof. All I have is some vague unease about the algorithms of my Spotify account and the occasional weird error message when I use an LLM. That’s it — nothing earth shattering.

So, meh. I have six novels I want to work on, so maybe I should turn my attention to those instead of wasting my time thinking I’ve discovered something groundbreaking.

If I had some inkling of proof, things would be different. But I got squat and I can’t keep daydreaming forever.
