    LLM’s are not the only type of AI out there. ChatGPT appeared seemingly out of nowhere. Whose to say the next AI system wont do that as well?

      Anything can happen. We can discover time travel tomorrow. The economy cannot run on wishful thinking.

        It can! For a while. Isn’t that the nature of speculation and speculative bubbles? Sure, they may pop some day, because we don’t know for sure what’s a bubble and what is a promising market disruption. But a bunch of people make a bunch of money until then, and that’s all that matters.

      ChatGPT did not appear out of nowhere.

      ChatGPT is an LLM that is a generative pre-trained model using a nueral network.

      Aka: it’s a chat bot that creates it’s responses based on an insane amount of text data. LLMs trace back to the 90s, and I learned about them in college in the late 2000s-2010s. Natural Language Processing was a big contributor, and Google introduced some powerful nueral network tech in 2014-2017.

      The reason they “appeared out of nowhere” to the common man is merely marketing.
