Steve Jobs famously said that computers are a bicycle for the mind. What does that make LLMs? An e-bike for the mind? A car for the mind? A jet plane for the mind?

Good question. I think bicycle still works, though.

@manton A clown car for the mind.

@manton I wish he was still alive to see what’s been happening. I reckon we’ll have a totally different Apple.

@manton I’d say more like a rickshaw for the mind and you hope you get to your destination in one piece 😂

@vincent maybe. Steve was also the patron of Antennagate, the G4 Cube, and “web apps will be enough” on the iPhone.

@Infoseepage 😂

@manton My take on LLMs is that they are shredded and reconstituted brains of other humans. Useful in a kind of mechanical McNugget brain sort of way.
