Because reading is an inherently human activity.

An LLM consuming data from a training model is not.

LLMs forcing us to take a look at ourselves and see if we’re really that special.

I don’t think we are.

For now, we’re special.

LLMs are far more training data-intensive, hardware-intensive, and energy-intensive than a human brain. They’re still very much a brute-force method of getting computers to work with language.

Because the LLM is also outputting the copyrighted material.
