- Sam Altman's vision is to make intelligence 'too cheap to meter', and currently, free access to smart LLMs like ChatGPT is widespread.
- Despite availability of smarter models like Claude Sonnet, most users stick with ChatGPT, possibly due to brand recognition or 'good enough' performance.
- Patience is identified as a key feature of LLMs, making them appealing for uses like therapy, where they offer non-judgmental, always-available support.
- LLMs like ChatGPT provide basic but effective advice, leveraging their infinite patience and availability, traits unmatched by humans.
- Concerns include LLMs amplifying advice-giving problems, lacking professional therapy safeguards, and potentially fostering unrealistic expectations of human interactions.
- The transformative capability of LLMs may lie not in intelligence but in providing an infinitely patient, always-available conversational partner.
