> This will hardly seem like a controversial opinion, but LLM are overhyped. Its certainly impressive to see the things people do with them, but they seem pretty cherry-picked to me. When I sat down with ChatGPT for a day to see if it could help me with literally any project I'm currently actually interested in doing it mostly failed or took so much prompting and fiddling that I'd rather have just written the code or done the reading myself. > You have to be very credulous to think for even a second that anything like a human or even animal mentation is going on with these models unless your interaction with them is anything but glancing. I've used ChatGPT, and I'd say it's right now as useful as a google search, which is already a lot. Most humans would be absolutely unable to help me (and probably you) for your projects because they aren't specialized in that area. That's not even talking about animals. I love my cats but they've never really helped me when programming.
