What is it about that that appeals to you? I'm genuinely curious.

A world without human interaction feels like a world I don't want to exist in.

If you are autistic (for example) I'm guessing human interaction can be extremely difficult and very stressful and triggering. Machines are much more amenable and don't have loads of arbitrary unwritten rules the way humans do. Maybe the idea of being entrapped by bureaucracy introduced by machines will be better than the the bureaucracy introduced by humans?

The difference between a standard human-written algorithm and machine learning is exactly that inability to find the rules transparent, predictable, and not arbitrary.

I can see this but I think humans are much more random than most LLMs - they lie, they have egos, they randomly dislike other humans and make things difficult for them. Never mind body language, networks of influence, reputation destruction and all the other things that people do to obtain power.

I think LLMs are much more predictable and they will get better.

I'm sure system prompts of the most famous LLM are just that

They are not as arbitrary as body language for example.

They expect AI bureaucracy to be more effective than human bureaucracy.

I expect this to be entirely true in some cases.
