The term "AI" is of course extremely unhelpful because it's come to signify a whole bunch of technologies based on machine learning. But one easy way to tell whether you're talking about something useful is that if the people selling it call it "AI," it's generally going to be garbage

I regret to inform you all I have now finished the third Dungeon Crawler Carl book

No I’m not proud of myself 😔

One of my beloved clients gifted me a copy of Dungeon Crawler Carl by Matt Dinniman and I’ve been alternately reading the hardcover & listening to the audiobook
The audiobook narrator sounds SO MUCH like Kronk from the Emperor’s New Groove and it is an absolute hoot

LLMs give people with delusional belief systems a way to organise those beliefs. The model fills in gaps, supplies connective tissue, and wraps the madness in formal language.
It doesn't make the claims more credible to us, it just tidies them up.
