Which industry though? The "AI" industry. The reason it has settled for so little is it has nothing better to sell.

Interesting, but this article is almost completely LLM generated :-( When you lose the ability to write, you lose the ability to think.

Socrates said, "writing will produce forgetfulness in the minds of those who learn to use it, because they will not practice their memory," creating "the appearance of wisdom, not the reality."

I think Socrates was wrong. AI helped me design, code and run the experiment, and write up the results. I vouch for every word.

It can sell smarter agents that use good old-fashioned decision theory, at least?
