> Overall, current LLMs remind me of those bottom-feeder websites that do no original research--those sites that just find an article they like, lazily rewrite it, introduce a few errors, then maybe paste some baloney "sources" (which always seems to disinclude the actual original source). That mode of operation tends to be technically legal, but it's parasitic and lazy and doesn't add much value to the world.
Another way of looking at this is that bottom-feeder websites do work that could easily be done by an LLM. I've noticed a high correlation between "could be AI" and "is definitely a trashy click bait news source" (before LLMs were even a thing).
To be clear, if your writing could be replaced by an LLM today, you probably aren't a very good writer. And...I doubt this technology will stop improving, so I wouldn't make the mistake of thinking that 2023 will be a high point for LLMs and they aren't much better in 2033 (or whatever replaces them).
