Dwarkesh Patel says give any human 0.0001% of what an LLM has read and they'd produce thousands of new ideas.

"They're very bad at actually distilling the essence of something and what's important. They don't have an opinion or a point of view."
"They are a fundamental breakthrough in computing. It is a different way to program a computer.
Rather than you explicitly speak its language and write the code, you just run enough data through it until it figures out how to write the program."
