Shower thought: Someone with no knowledge of programming but uses an LLM is a D&D sorcerer, while someone that has the understanding of CS would be the wizard class. In D&D rules, sorcerers can cast "more magic" per day than wizards as they are unencumbered with any thoughts about the technical details. Wizards can cast a vast range of complex customized spells that the sorcerer is unable to perform, and thus are able to maneuver far more complex situations.
- dukeyukey 3y agoI'd say they're more like a Warlock - granted arcane power via a "patron", and powerless once their patron leaves them.
- Groxx 3y agoAnd their patron is capricious and doesn't seem to actually understand anything that the warlock wants. Less monkey paw, more "I wasn't listening, here, have X because I think I heard you say Y"
- Terr_ 3y agoHeck, on a purely practical level one could start simulating some of those NPCs' dialogue with a carefully tuned LLM. Like extraplanar entities that just don't fully understand our dimension, how linear time works, or are somehow Just Too Eldrich. Also, less-exotic NPCs that have sufficiently low wisdom and/or intelligence scores.
- dukeyukey 3y agoSo a combo Warlock and Wild Magic Sorcerer?
- jadbox 3y agoI like it! For LLM creators that self-host their modal, they wouldn't have to worry about their patron leaving them. However, the patron only grows in power based on the wishes of other agents other than the warlock. Wizards, in theory, have unlimited power of their hardware environment [cough except DRM].
- aussieguy1234 3y agoSpeaking of D&D, it's possible for LLMs to act as the Dungeon Master
- jadbox 3y agoI have tried these, but they are all pretty bad. Like at best, they are as structured as a 6yr trying to be a DM for a group of adults.
