    “So it’s sort of like when we fed cows with cows and got mad cow disease.” is an amazing analogy for the current state of LLMs.

      Yeah, the headline makes it sound like he’s insulting AI, but he’s just illustrating a fairly basic fact…

      Oh theses cows went wobbly, fell over and died, better feed them to our good stock to save money.

    Is he still working at Rockstar? If so I can forgive a lot of stuff right now.

    EDIT: He is not.

    While I like it as a simile, we didn’t feed cows to cows - we fed them sheep infected with scrapie, at least that’s the theory of how mad cow disease started. I say “we”, I wasn’t involved in the process, I just live here.

    I’m tired of people using “AI” for only generative AI/LLM. Especially in video games ?!

      You’re absolutely right, but you also need to accept that most people think ai means transformers (as in, LLMs and generative/image synthesis)

      It sucks, but that’s how language works unfortunately. How most people use a word ends up defining it.
