I know you’re being disparaging by using language like “bake into their identity” but everyone is “something” about “something”.
I’m “indifferent” about “roller coasters” and “passionate” about “board games”.
To answer the question (but I’m not OP), I’m skeptical about LLMs. “These words are often near each other” vastly exceeds my expectation at being fairly convincing that the machine “knows” something, but it’s dangerously confident when it’s hilariously incorrect.
Whatever we call the next technological leap where there’s actual knowledge (not just “word statistics” I’ll be less skeptical about.
