@fgtech  These toys are helpful in so far as any toy helps with real world success, aids humans in getting better at, well the popular term is, “thriving”. I agree with your implication that nothing cognitive is actually happening in these devices. I would argue further that they can’t “contain” knowledge in any meaningful way.

Discriminating facts from fiction has been the primary activity of human beings since forever. Considering as a species we have done only a middling job at it; the burden is put on the individual to perform even better. Our current batch of mind toys (LLMs) might actually help.
