Human and subsequent AI efforts to “create” mimic God

In an effort to be transparent – an overused and abused term – be it known that technology is not my wheelhouse but it has become necessary for individuals like myself to become better acquainted with how algorithms are being applied to manipulate human interaction. This means improving understanding of Large Language Models (LLMs) which appellation sounds more benign than it is.

Touted as the next wonder of the world, LLMs are infiltrating education, marketing and religion by compiling intel through program input and collecting universal content to build a knowledge cache developers say will surpass human capacity. From this data repository, LLM “brains” are being credited with the ability to create novel aesthetic and biological products. Chatbots can, and expect to be, used to compose essays, reports, advertising and artworks.
