LLMs don't have the mind of a five year old, though.
They don't have a mind at all.
They simply string words together according to statistical likelihood, without having any notion of what the words mean, or what words or meaning are; they don't have any mechanism with which to have a notion.
They aren't any more intelligent than old Markov chains (or than your average rock), they're simply better at producing random text that looks like it could have been written by a human.
Yeah, the “!?” wasn't directed at Sinatra, seduction and adultery are completely in character for him, it was directed at the law making them an arrestable offence, sometimes I forget that the USA were founded by fundamentalist religious fanatics.
Well, reptiles seem to have split pretty early on between the ancestors of lizards and snakes (and the lonely tuatara), and the ancestors of turtles, crocodiles, and dinosaurs, the main differences seemingly being in the bones of the skull, and specifically for the group with the snakes and lizards in, the ability to self-amputate the tail (though that's lost in many of their descendants), and the keratinized scales; you won't see a turtle, crocodile, or dinosaur molting its whole skin in one go like lizards and snakes do, they'll molt their scales (or feathers, or scutes) one at a time.
That one I'm not entirely sure about, but it seems that, in the same way being a mammal (from a bone perspective) is all about the teeth and inner ear, being a dinosaur is all about the hips (dinosaurs have an upright stance, with the legs under their bodies; even with the quadruped ones you can see how they're really something evolved to walk on its hind legs walking on its hands and feet), and pterosaurs and their non-dinosaur ancestors just don't have the right kind of hip.
It's a bit muddy, though. Once you get into archosaurs and before you get into more specialised things like crocodiles, dinosaurs, or pterosaurs it's mostly “this thing seems to be more closely related to this group than to this other group, so we'll throw it in with them even if it doesn't really look anything like them”.
There's a small bipedal reptile, for instance, scleromuchlus, that's been bundled up with pterosaurs because it apparently seems more related to them, even though if you look at an artist's representation you'd assume it must be a dinosaur, but might in fact not fit in either group and be instead just a basal avemetatarsalian (or maybe even lower in the tree) with no other identified close relatives.
Taking out the screen, the windows license, and some of the margin since Valve will make it back with game sales, $1,000 was the minimum expectable price before RAM got pulled into the “AI” bubble.
Though, to be fair, the scammers and the LLMs themselves are pretty good at convincing their victims that the damn things are actually smart, to the point that some otherwise quite intelligent people have fallen for it.
And come to think of it, given that most investors have fallen hook line and sinker for the scam, if you're publicly traded catering to their idiotic whims and writing off the losses caused by the LLM might actually be more profitable, if most of your customers aren't smart enough to take advantage of your silliness...
It isn't even intelligence, nor, arguably, artificial (since LLM models are grown, not built).
It's just a fancy autocomplete engine simulating a conversation based on statistical information about language, but without any trace of comprehension of the words and sentences it's producing.
It's working as correctly as it possibly can, the business was simply scammed into using a tool (a toy, really) that by definition can't be suited for the job they intended it to do.
