On pitfalls (and advantages) of sophisticated large language models

Understand

Natural language processing based on large language models (LLMs) is a booming field of AI research.

• After neural networks have proven to outperform humans in games and practical domains based on pattern recognition, we might stand now at a road junction where artificial entities might eventually enter the realm of human communication.
• However, this comes with serious risks.
• Due to the inherent limitations regarding the reliability of neural networks, overreliance on LLMs can have disruptive consequences.
