"Slowing down doesn’t mean resisting innovation. It means giving ourselves enough space to evaluate tools properly, measure outcomes, and monitor unintended consequences."--Sarah Hands Plus an apt Jurassic Park quote later in the piece!

This is a pretty good rundown of why LLMs aren't necessarily connected to truth. Something plausible and internally consistent or coherent can be false, and simply thinking about it more doesn't lead one to truth, which requires empirical testing and verification (i.e., science).

The problem with AI may not be that machines are growing more intelligent. It may be that we are becoming increasingly skilled at amplifying a highly capable, but limited form of cognition.
