I think a lot of the mega hype around LLMs relies on extrapolating their (very impressive) performance today and assuming that the error rate will decrease significantly over time. I am very skeptical that this will actually happen, since in order to ensure correctness I believe you basically need to build a separate system that can determine correctness, which reduces to what you had to do pre-LLMs to build such a system. I think they are going to be a really useful tool alongside many other really useful tools which already exist. I think that they will have an impact on many areas where correctness is not very important. I don’t think they will make everything else obsolete, and this line of thinking seems like some kind of weird utopian thought pattern bug in humans. So if you want to help your anxiety, just become extremely skeptical of LLMs! Practice rolling yours eyes, etc.
