It’s the opposite of the OP’s headline.
Aimbot works because being good at games is essentially bending your skills to match a simulation, aimbot can have the simulation parameters written into it.
LLMs are blenders for human-made content with zero understanding of why some art resonates and other art doesn’t. A human with decent skill will always outperform a LLM because the human knows what the ineffable qualities are that make a piece of art resonate.
100% yes but just because I really hate how everyone conflates AI with LLMs these days I have to say this: The LLM isn't generating the image, it's at most generating a prompt for an image generating AI (which you could also write yourself)
psa, you get more control this way: instead of asking an LLM to generate an image, you can just say "generate an image with this prompt: ..."
idiotic of course that that's necessary. it's the kind of thing openai does -- you'd think they'd provide "open" access to dall-e.
or just use a diffusion model locally.
It's not useful to talk about the content that LLMs create in terms of whether they "understand it" or don't. How can you verify if an LLM understands what it's producing or not? Do you think it's possible that some future technology might have this understanding? Do humans understand everything they produce? (A lot of people get pretty far by bullshitting.)
Shouldn't your argument equally apply to aimbots? After all, does an aimbot really understand the strategy, the game, the je-ne-sais-quoi of high-level play?
