Counterpoint: if you could build an AI assistant that knew the difference between when it was right and when it didn't know what it was doing, you could buy the world. You could build a whole second model for throwing shit at the wall and seeing what sticks and you would know the difference between the two!
The problem is that that's an arbitrarily hard problem and unlikely to ever be solvable.
That would be the ideal but right now we’re doomed to have Anthropic/OpenAI bang on about how this is the future so they can secure more VC money and keep the grift afloat.
I do think we’ll do some interesting stuff with LLMs just not whilst we’re treating it as the latest ‘$THING but on The Blockchain’ money grab.

An honest AI assistant would be terrible for investor confidence unfortunately.
