In general, most researchers already incorporate LLM into their workflows, as it is quite good at context search. However, the relevant training data is based on the collective works of the field of experts. Collecting current data on that work is what makes the LLM sound relevant, and any improvement of the LLM model requires frequent new data from both researchers and the chat bot users themselves. LLM are not real "AI", and anyone that says otherwise is selling people something.

To phrase this differently, LLM companies conduct unauthorized targeted intelligence gathering on peoples work, codify that act of plagiarism or theft as MoE documentation, and sell unaccountable token output to other users.

There is a reason output becomes more nonsensical as "AI" companies try to use dynamic weight granularity and conceptual compaction. It is not necessarily "AI" hallucinations, but rather people fooling themselves into believing smart people are no longer needed if they willingly become a hapless exploited data source caste. This simply isn't true, as people will leave the field for awhile.

The LLM business model regularly requires copyright theft and plagiarism to persist. It will not magically become sentient/AGI/less-stupid, as these algorithms have been operating for over 40 years. What has changed is the scale of the deployment, data pool size, and the energy consumed.

Scientists are still necessary, as they create the world models LLM try to guess at by statistical inference. Hype and FUD ahead of an IPO for a highly dubious revenue company is expected. We look forward to the low cost liquidated GPU hardware in the near future. =3
