Part of the ideology underlying LLMs is a deep contempt for expertise and creativity. The people funding it don't *want* there to be good art, or criticism of art, or of society generally. They are willing to spend profligately to support this ideology, even "losing" money to help create that world.
It’s the biggest acknowledgment in history to the idea that all art is political. The death of art gives birth to alienation.
An LLM is an extension of the prompter's collective unconscious made conscious. It is a tool, like a calculator. Because it uses Linear Algebra, the power of the logic of feeding forward into a recursive algorithm the weights of the matrix it is acting on converges on differing lines of thought...
