Are you arguing that an LLM will be used in process control or statistical modelling? Or that someone will be running code in an interpreter that just happens to interact with those systems? Because there’s no way that someone will use one to control the automated processes in a factory. Those have to be perfectly repeatable. It’s not like someone showed up to the mayonnaise factory and says “I think I’ll increase the ratio of paprika to salt today, just for fun”

Yes to both, sadly.

What is that saying Americans are fond of? Ah, yes - if you believe that, then I have a bridge to sell you.

No, they show up at the industry trade fair in some German city, find a group of people looking like they own factories, and start waxing poetic about how their company is using the newest advances in AI to synergize value delivery and carbon supply chain footprint management, ushering in the era of ecologically responsible and exponentially profitable Industry 4.1. You know, like ChatGPT but you plug it into your plant, feed it your BOM, and it prints out money. This kind of stuff.
