And we're nowhere near dome scalimg LLM's

I think we might be, I remember hearing openAI was training on so much literary data that they didn't and couldn't find enough for testing the model. Though I may be misrememberimg.

No that's definitely the case. However, Microsoft is now working making LLM's more dependent on several high quality sources. For example: encyclopedias will be more important sources than random reddit posts.

Microsoft is also using LinkedIn to help as well, getting users to correct articles generated by AI.

Cunningham's Law may be very helpful in this respect.
