The towers of falsehood and abuse are built one layer at a time.

Before "Artificial Intelligence" there was Machine "Learning" of which Large Language Models are just an instance.

Nobody ever questioned if fitting a non-linear model to data actually "learns" anything.

Its exactly what linear regression does. Nobody worries about straight lines running through data and interpolating or extrapolating new points becoming sentient.

We truly live in an age of artificial stupidity.
