It really feels like that, yes. And even though they make the point that the LLM lacks agency and intrinsic motivation, they then use that to make a point against characteristics of LLM-as-an-entity, instead of just blanket eliminating the entire entity thing.
I do get the frustration with all the false promises and other bs coming out of the CEOs and their helpful assistants, and the perpetual funding rounds that keep on amplifying and encouraging the behavior. This bothers me every day. But by narrating their lies as anything other than lies, papers like this just increase the fog that is needed to fool normieland (and apparently, investors in need of a moonshot.)
