LLMs (Large Language Models, colloquially referred to as “A.I.”) are perfect…    

#### Perfect exemplars and the very embodiment of the brain-rot of our society.

Much like so many loud voices in society today, the LLM is incapable of discerning reliable from unreliable sources, identifying the origin and validity of a source, or exercising even the feeblest form of epistemic justification[a].

Like so many today, LLMs spew whatever is stored in their fetid memory banks with absolute confidence and zero competence.

The LLM is the apotheosis of the Dunning-Kruger Effect[a].

It is with great regret that I must concede that the transhumanists were right after all, although only in a very specific domain:
We cannot (and likely will never) be able to upload an actual human soul into a computer, but we now have the essence of your idiotic racist uncle in algorithmic form.

Bravo, gentlemen[a]. Bravo.
