No, they fucking don’t. These differences matter a lot especially because LLMs behave so human-like (as it was trained on us) and we got way, WAY too many people already treating them like equals, work buddies, friends or even fucking falling in love with a tool (ever heard multiple people genuinely fall in love with a power drill or a toaster, or killing themselves because the table saw told them they’re the messiah?). Words matter, especially in regards to what we call “Medienkompetenz” in german (lit. “media competency”, meaning bring educated in how to safely consume and use any kind of media or digital tool). And even more especially with AI, where not just the salesmen but even the tool itself tells us it can do shit it certainly can not while trying to abuse our emotional weaknesses.
Collaboration (merriam-webster.com) “to work jointly with others or together especially in an intellectual endeavor”
You do not “collaborate” with a fucking toaster. If you think you do with an AI then your Medienkompetenz is lacking and you will eventually, even accidentally, put too much trust in what is essentially a game of chance and the machine will fuck you over, on which it will just say “You’re absolutely right!” while you have to witness all the consequences of your action (an AI can’t take responsibility because it’s just a bunch of complex math). The fact this tool uses natural language doesn’t change anything except your impression of it.
Stop subtly treating LLMs like a god damn entity, you’re fooling yourself.

You can not “collaborate” with an LLM as it has no agency on its own, merely the simulation of it. You use it as a tool, that’s it. It also has no inherent expertise on anything (let alone a deep one), it merely generates the closest match which is why it will confidently do total nonsense so often. To use AI as tool safely and correctly you can only ever use it in domains you already know enough to understand when the LLM completely derails. Therefore I (as an example) can use and understand it for research on coding (but not letting it generate code for production, oh my god), but could never use it for finance advise as it could tell me any kind of nonsense without me being able to pick up on it.
You’re right on some things, like that AI is marketed and used the wrong way. It’s also made the wrong way by stealing literally the collected works of mankind, so to have reasonable approach to AI / LLMs as tool you have to be really cautious, use it carefully and quite frankly skip the media (pictures, audio) generation completely. That one is morally corrupt even in small amounts, plain and simply.

You won’t get the same purity. Not because of worse industrial processes, but because with ancient lead any radioactive impurity normally introduced by the ore had enough time to decay.
We simply can’t filter out trace amounts of radioactive material naturally existing in or around the ore as reliable as time can.

Have you seen the fucking 'Murica ads before launch? They literally justified and propagated US Exceptionalism by name and talked about how all of this (which they were at least nice enough to mention was a collab with ~50 other countries) creates jobs in America.
It was a god damn propaganda show.

ok so tell me why I’m waiting for networking to come up before I’m allowed to interact with my computer
Because your distro sets up stuff weirdly? At least I never noticed networkd to be a dependency of multi-user.target, could be wrong though.
Also, its monolithic as heck, its a giant squid into my networking, time management, access control…
That’s all optional though, many distros just use it because it’s easier than the alternatives.
Ontop of that… binary logs ew.
Yeah, that’s indeed stupid. No clue why they did that.

Why though, I sure love having a load of script files in a folder doing the boot things.
I can easily add another.
Why system not boot, help
