> At their core, current models are essentially predictors of what (expert) humans would output given a prompt.

That's a bold claim.

I do not buy it. Essentially AI acts as random babelfish generator, just with a lot more cross-talk back to check to see that it is not total garbage. But there is a ton of garbage nonetheless, hence the proper term AI slop. You seem to mostly try to promote AI with such a wording.

Every time someone claims "the only option" is when I become skeptical. I see many more options - most importantly close down the AI slop. I mean you can require of these companies to excel in quality. If they don't, they must go bankrupt. Easy solution here.
