Not sure this is categorically true, but: “LLMs suck at journalism because LLMs suck at stories. LLMs suck at discovering surprising facts of all kinds, because LLMs are designed to minimize surprises.” (Dan Fabulich, Medium)

  • LLMs avoid surprises, limiting their abilities in comedy, art, journalism, research, and science.
  • They're designed to minimize surprises, not embrace them.
  • Their architecture is fundamentally misaligned with curiosity.
