CW: embarrassing srs take:
The way LLM boosters talk about GPTs reminds me of how one of my kids tried to convince himself that his stuffies are really alive.
The same desire to believe in adults is so unsettling to me. They're desperately trying to fill a hole in their life where family, friends, culture, or religion should be. My first instinct would be compassion if it weren't for all of the economic dislocation and fascism.
I'd rather drop the religion from that list. Some religions propagate harmful ideas too and historically sided with fascists.
