Case studies from threat actors disrupted between December 2025 and August 2026 across seven areas of harm, from cyber operations to biological misuse.
But also perhaps not very effective, as they only averaged 5 interactions per agent. Not so much that, even for a test project, it seems like these llm agents must not have been very good.
Chatbots have been on dating sites for a long time I should add. Call them what you will, but llm’s shouldn’t be called AI as far as I’m concerned.
Yesterday I heard someone who insisted that LLMs were not artificial intelligence and instead suggested the term synthetic intelligence. I get the subtle difference, but what’s the point?
I reject any name that includes intelligence. It’s not that, they don’t think, they work differently.
Many people could make better arguments o this than I, I am not a tech guy. But basically people that know this subject in detail say that it’s not thinking, it’s not reasoning, it’s choosing the most popular response from the bank of responses it holds, and as such, will never be able to get rid of hallucinations as such.
Nevertheless I am calling it LLMs and you all should too. Because whatever computer programmers call it, the public envisions something different that llm’s are not when they hear AI.

I like the synthetic. “Synthetic Language Response” I think is a good descriptor.
The goal is to respond to a query with grammatically correct grammar and adherence to the topic. That seems to work quite well.
“Correct responses”; I’ve never seen that on the packaging.

It’s historical. Pathfinders are AI for example. It’s just an acronym for computer doing “brain work”.
I mean if you’re curious about why we call it that.
