Well I have a question for you: do you think this format of AI can actually think?

I.e. can it ruminate on the data it's ingested, and rather than returning the response of highest probability, return something original?

I think that's the key. If LLMs can't ultimately do that, there's still a lot to be gained from utilising the speed and fluidly scalable resources of computers.

But like all the top tech companies know, it's not quantity of bodies in seats that matters but talent, the thing that's going to prevail is raw intelligence. If it can't think better than us, just process data faster and more voluminously but still needing human verification, we're on an asymptotic path.
