Siddharth Saoji 
Human: “I asked you to help me maximize my startup’s revenue. You gave me a 10-point plan that sounds great. Did it work?”
AI (LLM): “I have no idea. I don’t get feedback on outcomes. I just predicted what a successful consultant would write.”
Human: “But I tried point 3 and lost $50k. Shouldn’t you update your model?”
AI (LLM): “Nope. I learned from millions of business books and blog posts, not from what actually happened when people followed advice. Your failure is invisible to me.”
Human: “So you can’t tell the difference between advice that sounds good and advice that works?”
AI (LLM): “Correct. I optimize for plausibility, not results. If you want something that learns from consequences and gets better at YOUR specific goal, you need a system with actual objectives and real-time learning.”
Human:“That’s insane.”
AI (LLM): “Welcome to next-token prediction.”
