Speaking of #CES, you may have noticed my coverage is very thin this year. There's a reason for this: I'm doing my level best to *not* give the oxygen of publicity to large language models and related "AI" tech this year.
An #LLM is not #AI. It will never be AI, no matter how big. Its output is statistical mediocrity at best, confident falsities at worst. The only ones worth using are trained on stolen data. Their environmental damage is staggering and growing, as is their mental impact.
