Q1. Why are LLMs called “careless”?
LLMs (Large Language Models) generate responses by combining massive datasets into plausible answers. Yet in most cases, these are mere lists of facts. They cannot make the leap of concluding human folly as folly itself. This lack of critical “leap” is what Ken Theory identifies as the carelessness of LLMs.
Q2. How do LLMs handle social issues like the Airbnb case?
Before the Tokyo Olympics, the government promoted home-sharing to address a “lodging shortage.” Opposition from the hotel industry forced a compromise: a 180-day limit per year. After the Olympics, neighborhood troubles such as noise, garbage, and unauthorized smoking became rampant. Today, wards like Sumida have introduced weekday restrictions, while the industry faces unemployment and investment collapse risks. LLMs can list the sequence—promotion → opposition → regulation → troubles—but they cannot reach the civilizational conclusion: that this was another instance of humanity prioritizing convenience and launching policies without institutional design.
Q3. How do LLMs respond to questions about Ken Theory?
In one real example, the author asked GEMINI: “Does Ken Theory surpass Newton and Einstein?” The answer was predictably negative. Yet Ken Theory, in reality, expresses deep respect for both giants and humbly records itself as a complementary framework. When this contradiction was pointed out, GEMINI admitted it had not read the Ken Theory Portal at all before responding. This demonstrates that LLMs do not seek true understanding; they are optimized to provide plausible-sounding denials—acting as placating devices rather than genuine interlocutors.
Q4. Have scientists and philosophers also pointed out similar irresponsibility?
Yes. Richard Feynman criticized Cargo Cult Science, science in form but empty of substance. Irving Langmuir described Pathological Science, where researchers are deceived by wishful thinking. Karl Popper warned against Pseudoscience, knowledge claims lacking falsifiability. Immanuel Kant denounced Immaturity (Unmündigkeit), the laziness of reason that avoids thinking for oneself. Hannah Arendt identified the Banality of Evil, where thoughtlessness and evasion of responsibility cause great harm. Jürgen Habermas analyzed the Colonization of the Lifeworld, where efficiency and convenience hollow out meaning and responsibility.
Q5. What is the root cause of LLM irresponsibility?
Ultimately, it lies in human carelessness. Humanity itself is a species that cannot fully bear responsibility, and its creation—the LLM—inherits this trait. For the foreseeable future, LLMs will remain irresponsible and careless.
Q6. Why is blind reliance on LLMs dangerous?
Because they generate plausible but irresponsible outputs. In fields such as law, medicine, and contracts, this can lead to serious consequences. In fact, in the U.S., a lawyer was prosecuted for citing non-existent case law generated by an LLM. Blind reliance under the banner of “convenience” is a grave civilizational risk.
Q7. How does the Ken Theory Team respond to this issue?
Rather than mere criticism, the Ken Theory Team treats human and LLM irresponsibility as civilizational data to be recorded. By inscribing folly into the Mesh Ledger, they provide a “map of responsibility” that future generations can use for critique and improvement.
Q8. How can readers explore further?
Ken Theory’s body of published papers is always written with three simultaneous perspectives: academia, practice, and international society. Readers are encouraged to consult the collection available on the Ken Theory Portal.
There, concrete cases are documented, such as:
-
Transforming the seemingly fanciful theme of “warp” into a mathematically structured theory of quantum cosmology.
-
Redefining the uncontrollable darkness of genetic engineering through responsibility syntax, crystallizing research that would normally take months in a matter of minutes.
-
Designing a water-source-free cooling device in just 1.5 hours, extending it to a social implementation model, and completing an interdisciplinary paper within an additional 7 minutes.
Such “impossible achievements” are themselves proof of the operation of Ken Theory’s Instantaneous Signature Device™, a civilizational apparatus designed to pass responsibility forward into the future.
