About a quarter of South Koreans already pay for AI services, compared to just 2% of Americans

South Korea is preparing to offer free generative AI services to its entire population, using the technology to help people handle everyday tasks such as booking medical appointments, finding housing, and sorting out taxes.

The program is intended to expand access to homegrown AI systems while giving the government a larger role in how they are used for everyday services.

    LLMs ingest tokens as input. It is a core component of natural language processing. When entering a query into an LLM the text will be parsed as tokens.

    I don’t know if the investing is inherently problematic. I do believe that the current situation is the culmination of many intersecting societal issues.

      This helps a lot! Thanks! It fits in well with your ball point pen comparison. I see why it scales poorly.

      As for your second part, I really have nothing to say. I do not know much about investing, but your earlier comment said a lot about the societal side of things. Thanks for helping through this!
