Are these paid posts?
- simonw 3y agoWhat gave you that idea?
- jgalt212 3y agoThis quote. > The LLM part is almost irrelevant to the final result to be honest
- simonw 3y agoWhy would that suggest I'm being paid by anyone? Oh I think I see. No, I'm not being paid to promote LLMs. The point of my blog post was two-fold: first, to introduce the OCR tool I built. And second, to provide yet another documented example of how I use LLMs in my daily development work. The tool doesn't use LLMs itself, they were just a useful speed-up in building it. It's part of a series of posts, see also: https://simonwillison.net/tags/aiassistedprogramming/ https://simonwillison.net/tags/aiassistedprogramming/
- jgalt212 3y agoMy reasoning: There are hundreds of billions of dollars at stake getting the wider world to embrace LLMs on a long-term basis. If I were a VC, or Nvidia/OpenAI/MS marketing person, I'd be paying trusted names such as yourself to post about using LLMs. That coupled with the loose link between OCR and LLMs in your latest post created an itch I thought was worthy of a scratch. > No, I'm not being paid to promote LLMs. This is good enough for me, thanks.
