Andreas, you’re definitely not alone with this. I think and feel the
same, although I usually don’t have the “fun” of reading LLM output.

I wouldn’t even think much about the effects those LLM-generated texts
have for “all-in” approaches, as I consider these approaches misguided
from the start.

LLMs don’t reason and don’t understand. You could perhaps say that
classical, logic-based, AI reasons, but no AI understands. I think it is
important to not overlook this, since it shows that the problems we’re
facing here have deeper roots.

All the best,
