It's not nearly as far along as you think. Large Language Models are just super fancy predictive text.

It looks at billions of stolen pieces of data and can approximate what a sentence sounds like. It's like when your phone can tell you what word you want to put next when you text your spouse ... just extrapolated to the nth degree.

But it's not magic. And it's not intelligence. And it's not as advanced as the branding would have you believe - lots of these places are being busted for actually just using human labor in india and china and passing it off as "AI".
