Trying to analogize the bullish case for LLMs as I perceive it:
If you had an intern at your beck and call, who was obedient but knew nothing about anything except how to use a search engine, would that make you a "10x" at whatever you do?
- dinvlad 3y agoExactly - if I can’t trust it (as has been my experience with 90% of queries) so that I have to still Google its answers to verify them, what good does it do? It isn’t really improving my productivity in a substantial way, or can indeed hinder it. That said, my beef is not with its use for this purpose - whatever makes people happy and feel more productive, it’s all good and fun. The problem is when the CEO of a company like OpenAI starts talking with a straight face in his Congress testimony how this not-really-new tech has the potential to run afoul and enslave us (I’m heavily paraphrasing, obviously). That is the problem - this particular CEO suddenly feels entitled enough to make a giant PR stunt by using his official testimony to endow his product with the qualities it cannot possibly have - that is the problem. The blatant lies and deception is frankly disgusting.
