Current LLM technology would be a GREAT librarian or archivist.
If it was properly trained to give sources and only use existing texts for the basis of their answers, and they were trained on academic books, articles, manuals, blueprints etc.
You could download one to a computer or smartphone and have every village on earth be capable of building their own power sources, wells, learn about science etc etc.
It shouldnt try to be a “doer”, a coder, a marketer, a writer etc.
But it could basically be the best search engine for texts and guides ever.
i think ai should be used for quick web searching, recreational fun in the comfort of your home and such, but NOT for replacing human talent and NOT for profit (ie: the coca-cola and mcdonald's christmas ads). seriously!
The issue with “AI” as we have it is that capitalism exists and is the prevailing system around the world. That’s it. Like all tech basically. It only sucks because the worst people control it and use it to make themselves even more powerful.
