Honestly I think LLMs are the illusion or imitation of thinking, language didn't come before building a model of the world. There are a lot of tests that you can do from the cognitive sciences that shows this, and which LLMs fails at, and the guys at big companies are simply patching the mistakes, and throwing around slogans to sell their products. Narrow AI applications, are often actually where the groundbreaking stuff happens. Silicon Valley's fake it till you make it attitude to everything, might come at a very big price when these LLMs hallucinate. I am optimistic about AI, and I'm a big user of AI and LLMs myself, but I'm under no illusions of its shortcomings. @GaryMarcus' article brilliantly breaks down the hype.

🔒 Why is Gen Z so anxious? Maybe because their lives have been under surveillance since birth—likes, comments, filters, followers. #PrivacyCrisis #iGen

🚼 Millennials got the internet in middle school. iGen got it in the crib. That changes everything. #GenerationalShift #iGen

🧠 Gen Z has grown up online. But no app teaches empathy, no filter builds resilience, and no algorithm replaces real life. #iGen #HumanConnection

Wow! I think most of them (lawyers) will be unaware of this.. that’s the reason it’s important to understand the tech before using it in high stake use cases.
When lawyers first started getting yelled at by judges for citing hallucinated case 2y ago I naively assumed word would get around and they would all quickly learn not to
This DB has 116 cases from 12 countries where this happened, 20 of them this month! simonwillison.net/2025/May/2…

🎭 “Everyone is happier than me.” That’s the lie social media tells every teen, every day. #ComparisonTrap #iGen

🔋 Social media promises connection. But for Gen Z, it's draining their confidence and joy. The more they scroll, the less they smile. #iGen #DigitalDepression

⏳ The time teens spend with friends in-person dropped 40% in just 15 years. Phones are stealing the best part of growing up. #iGen #IRLMatters

😤 Triggered. Anxious. Numb. These aren’t moods—they’re lifestyles for too many teens growing up on TikTok and Twitter. #MentalHealthCrisis #iGen

⚠️ Gen Z isn’t just the next generation. They’re a social experiment. We handed them tech without a manual. Now we’re seeing the fallout. #iGen #ThinkBeforeYouScroll

📉 College students today report lower emotional resilience than ever before. We’ve raised a generation that’s digitally tough but emotionally fragile. #iGen #Resilience

🧩 Every hour a teen spends on a screen increases their risk of unhappiness. Want a cure? Less scrolling, more living. #iGen #MentalWellness

💬 "I'd rather text than talk." Spoken like a true iGen teen. Face-to-face interaction is dying—and so are communication skills. #SocialMediaEffects #iGen

🛑 The irony: we're more connected than ever... but Gen Z feels more alone than any previous generation. #DigitalParadox #iGen
