Iris Meredith on LLMs

Iris Meredith, in Keeping up appearances:

LLMs provide a great deal of opportunities to increase your status and decrease other peoples': a core status marker in the corporate world these days is being "innovative" or "tech forward", which means that loudly and ostentatiously using LLM technology can be an excellent way of building your status in corporate spaces. The converse of this is that you can label LLM sceptics as being "irrational" or "frothing" and tell them that "if they don't use the technology they'll be left behind", which is an excellent way of lowering their status in the eyes of the corporate world that they function in. We've seen exactly the same pattern play out with blockchain and half a hundred other overhyped technologies.
