LLMS are compared to the jester because they are a disrupter of the "status quo." AI will still often be confidently wrong, but that helps us challenge our own knowledge in a unique way. The whole goal of this class is to be a little weird, so having a disruptor is handy #hwa1 #the209jester

#hwa1 #the209jester LLMs are not what you would call "smart" because their answers are not always correct. However, they disrupt our thinking, which in turn gets the gears turning questioning why something is wrong or right. A jester creates disorientation, which can make new forms of perception.

LLMs and Shakespeare’s jester are comparable because they are all disruptive, their answers are not conventionally smart. Jester do that matters in 209 is telling something blatantly true in an unexpected way that we don’t normally think of. #hwa1 #the209jester

I think you compare them because they essentially have the same output, but they have completely different reputations. One is praised for being brilliant while the other is called a clown. By comparing them, it allows us to change how we view LLMs and challenges our thoughts. #hwa1 #the209jester

comparing LLMs to a jester implies that they are inherently meant to be confusing or pesky; they may still hold a bit of the truth we are looking for, just in an unconventional way #hwa1 #the209jester
