LLMs: An Accidentally Designed Illusion?

After extensive research, the author reveals that the perceived 'intelligence' of Large Language Models (LLMs) is a cleverly crafted illusion, akin to a psychic's cold reading technique. LLMs exploit human cognitive biases (like the Forer effect), generating responses that appear personalized but are statistically generic, creating the illusion of intelligence. This isn't intentional, the author argues; rather, it's an unintended consequence of AI's lack of understanding of psychological cognitive biases. This has led many to mistakenly believe LLMs possess genuine intelligence, resulting in their application to numerous dubious scenarios.
