    I dread when the scammers will start using LLMs and voice models for their scamming. They could afford so many more calls.

      I wonder why extradition is never even discussed. Hand over the scammers or get blocked from trade.

      What about DLSS? What about machine learning for identifying new planets? ML Models for discovering new medicines? Object avoidance for drones? Transcribing and translating different languages?

      AI is way bigger than just some Large Language Models.
