Why the world should stop obsessing over LLM
Nandan Nilekani, the mind behind India’s digital revolution, says the future of AI will not be shaped by who builds the bigger model but by small systems designed to resolve real-world problems

For a while so called "reasoning" was hyped as a solution to improve #LLM results, but it turned out the output gets worse the longer the models "think":

That's of course because the models do not "think" but give statistic outputs based on the input (context). The more context there is, the higher the probability that something irrelevant influences the output. No thinking involved. It's no intelligence, not even an artificial one. It's statistics.
So it’s been over a month since iNaturalist first announced using Google's genAI…
…I signed up for the q&a they were going to do, and have not heard one thing. There is also no updates other than a forum post from iNat staff saying they hope to have a working prototype at the end of the year.
I don’t want a “prototype at the end of the year" released and then have it be too late to retract what I have given to the site so it doesn’t get eaten up by a genAI machine. If there is a working demo, that means the data’s already been fed, I would think…?
Thus, at this point, it’s just how long do I wait until I pull the plug? Because there is a total lack of transparency, a lot of double talking, and this is far too big an issue to just leave to chance. And for everyone saying “but science!” we functioned as scientists far before iNat existed, and there are other ways to manage datasets. If you are that conditioned to needing a computer to think for you, maybe rethink being a scientist.
iNat has done great things, getting into bed with genAI is not one of them; instead it is a nail in the coffin of science, thinking, and reason.

Besides everything else, LLM chat boxes are also amazing at multiplying crackpots.
