  • Exactly. The big problem with LLMs is that they’re so good at mimicking understanding that people forget that they don’t actually have understanding of anything beyond language itself.

    The thing they excel at, and should be used for, is exactly what you say - a natural language interface between humans and software.

    Like in your example, an LLM doesn’t know what a cat is, but it knows what words describe a cat based on training data - and for a search engine, that’s all you need.


















  • It’s gross, but also inevitable. If there’s an untapped niche to make money from, somebody’s going to try it – plus if they want to waste their money on generating accounts only to have them be banned, then so be it.

    Makes me kinda thankful that this community is smaller and less likely to be targeted by this sort of crap.
