This is what Ilya saw...

As long as they don't fuck it up in a similar fashion to seemingly every other thing they have tried for a couple decades.

Assuming it takes its answer from search results, and the search results are all affiliate marketing sites that just want you to click on a link and buy something, this makes perfect sense.

They semi-recently made an entire show using the old character styles presumably to muddy the legal waters and allow them to do exactly that...so I would assume so.

Maybe they're a chatbot?

I'm not saying it's good (because it's not) but I'm unfortunately pretty certain they're correct.

They marched up there with no resistance, but they shortly thereafter blew the guys plane out of the air. That's a pretty big repercussion.

Oh hey, it's the thing I do to myself every day!

This is almost certainly not happening, but it would be absolutely hilarious if that's how the Putin regime ended.

Is language conscious?

Are atoms?

I don't know if LLMs of a large enough size can achieve (or sufficiently emulate) consciousness, but I do know that we barely know anything about consciousness, let alone it's limits.

Never learning any lessons

The rich are now richer than they have ever been in history while we grumble about it on the internet. I think they just didn't learn the lesson we might have liked them to have learned....

The thing is, LLMs can be used for something like this, but just like if you asked a stranger to write a letter for your loved one and only gave them the vaguest amount of information about them or yourself you're going to end up with a really generic letter.

...but to give me amount of info and detail you would need to provide it with, you would probably end up already writing 3/4 of the letter yourself which defeats the purpose of being able to completely ignore and write off those you care about!
