If VisiCalc had synthesized plausible but entirely unsupported spreadsheet calculations
If AIM had connected your instant messages with random people with similar names
If MapQuest had invented entirely nonexistent geographic features and routes
If GMail had sent rewritten versions of your emails with things you didn’t even write
If Yahoo! produced pages of search results of websites that never existed
That’s what today’s LLMs are doing.
