(Go stick your head in a pig!)

Come to think of it, “share and enjoy” is exactly the way I would expect an AI-generated YouTube video to end.

    I think LLMs work just fine if you know how to use them and their limitations. Imo, they aren’t ready for general use without a lecture in how they work and what to expect from them.

    Personal computers were enthusiast devices in the 70s and 80s and users had to know how to write code to use them. It took a bit of time for their interfaces to become friendly for the general population. The internet in the early 90s was the same. It is a shame tech companies today want to push this AI down the throats of everyone without first figuring out what and how it should actually be used.

    I think it would be a shame if we discard all LLMs today as they do have practical uses. We just shouldn’t overuse them where they don’t belong.

      They’re excellent for fine-tuned use-cases that need digesting huge volumes of text- for example, legal and insurance industries. But having a hundred different AI models all trained on scraped nonsense and then hallucinating bizarre outcomes to prompts just isn’t very useful to the average person. Especially as more and more average computer users are less and less computer literate. That writing is on the wall.
