At some level of abstraction it's all built around allowing you to do some work/play/etc that you understand. Some of that work allows you to make money and eat food.
replyIf the LLM is operating at such a high level that it never actually constructs a useful product for humans to use, then how will that be good for humanity?

replyIf you replace "LLM" with "mathematician" than this is the state of the world today. Stuff like Galois theory is beautiful mathematically, but what has it constructed or enabled for you and me?
There is a difference between manufacturing and design. Yes manufacturing is largely done by machines because of the nature involved but to look at a cpu and think 'no human was involved in creating this', you're wrong and also insulting to the humans who actually worked on things that led to the cpu and the manufacturing process.
replyA cpu (the physical thing that sits in your mother) is not an abstraction, what are you talking about
