> the self-help industry

About 15 years ago my friend showed me this video of a "self-help" guy he was impressed with and inspired by.

..it was over 30 minutes of rambling that sounded like it makes senses but meant nothing and lead nowhere.

Looking back it was like listening to how early LLMs were: Just long strings of random words and vague sentences without actually saying anything.

Or how Saruman's power of the tongue was described as.

It's depressing and obvious to see how many people could be misled by this kind of charlatanism.

AI if done right could cut a lot of crap from human society.
