The computer today is scattered. If we assume that to optimize it we have to have a mixed system, we end up with: new state = f(previous state). That if you think about it is basically a neural network. This is just a random thought with less than 30 seconds of thought, but if it turns to be the truth. That would be fun.
Took this many years for the mind to realize the problem with LLMs is that they are trained on human written text. Humans are specialized and non polymathy, while the whole point of a sum of all knowledge is connect the dots and introduce to new topics. Yet in each conversation it simulates yet another person.
I suspect this situation has something to do with how computers and appliances have been developed historically. Computers have their roots in academia. When they were sold, they were always advertised as blank slates, general purpose devices, as opportunities to do what you choose to do with them. Not so much for appliances. Those have always had a single purpose. Except they kept getting complicated, until they entered a level of complexity where they needed to incorporate computers in order to perform their function. But they kept being manufactured as appliances, with only a handful of people being expected or allowed to exercise control over them. Incorporating computers didn't change the culture around them.
This is just a guess and I don't know how correct it is. For example Apple was always a computer manufacturer, but they are making computers now as if those were appliances.
