    The fact that you think it’s bad at one thing in your list but adequate at the others is part of the problem. It’s bad at all of those things, because it’s a chatbot. Admittedly a very advanced chatbot, but still just a chatbot.

    The most important take away here is what of your list was impossible before LLMs? Because the reality is that absolutely everything that you mentioned was possible before LLMs. All that LLMs have added is the chat interface part.

    Granted, the technology that allowed LLM’s is likely to be very useful and already has been in places like protein folding, but that happened before LLMs.

    Less profitable is not unprofitable. But yes interest is typically front-loaded and if you’re still deemed to a higher risk typically have to pay insurance on top of that. In this case though they’re hedging against the fact that you’re going to move not that you’re going to foreclose.

    I think I understand what you’re trying to say but you’re still missing the main point. You pay interest for the full 30 years of the mortgage the most profitable position for the bank is for you to pay that interest for the full 30 years of the mortgage. It’s not temporarily expensive for them to foreclose they lose out on 30 years of being able to rake in money while doing absolutely nothing.

    No part of anything that I’ve said should be construed as defending a bank. The fact that you keep going out of your way to call it that is why I’m telling you that I feel you need to calm down.

    The only point I was trying to make is that foreclosure is neither in the best interest of the bank or the homeowner.

    Foreclosed houses very rarely sell for what they’re worth and it’s not uncommon for people who are foreclosed on the trash the house on the way out.

    When my wife and I were recently looking for a house in the city we moved to recently one of the houses we looked at had had the air conditioner taken by the previous owners because it had been foreclosed on. I’m serious, the entire fucking condenser was taken.
