Sam Altman, CEO of OpenAI, launched the first conversational large language model (LLM), ChatGPT, in late 2022 with only a short post on X. It has since revolutionized how the tech industry does business. Now, many LLMs exist on the open web, each competing for a user base that the overall tech industry hopes will encompass everyone on the planet. OpenAI and other major companies like Microsoft and Google have even sold their services to the U.S. government. Despite continued interest in these models, LLMs will ultimately fail to have a meaningful impact on national security decision-making.
