It’s a status thing. Like most of the crap the billionaires do.

It also has utility thought. It provides a big presence for guests. If you really want to hire someone or do some kinda business deal, you fly them by helicopter to the yacht. Wine and dine em in a floating ballroom. It’d be a lot harder to say no in that kind of space.

So LLM’s are basically fancy auto correct. You type a phrase and it guesses what comes next, based on training and weights, etc.

Hallucinations happen when the guess is wrong. And then you iterate on the wrong guess. So the initial guess can be minor, it can guess “how can I drive a car” instead of “how can I drive a tractor”. Which on its own is a small deviation, but after looping on that wrong guess, the outcome is much different.

This is a high level view but I hope it makes sense.

It's by design.

Once upon a time, the USA had a strong middle class. Billionaires got taxed heavily, and our public schools were the envy of the world. Well funded and produced a lot of great students.

But educated people are difficult to control and even harder to dupe. The GOP realized that if they can gut public education, the masses will become malleable again. Meanwhile, the children of the rich can continue to go to expensive private institutions for their own education. So the rich stay educated, and the poor's go in the gutter.
