In my experience, LLMs are mostly useful if you already have expertise either directly in the field you’re asking about or in adjacent fileds. They’re also useful in fields which you are exploring so as long as your exploration does not need 100% reliability of information, which most domains do not. As far as business is concerned, however, there’s so much obscure regulation and (in VC) so many opportunities for others to take advantage of your ignorance, that you do really benefit a lot from having people who have been there and done that, and got screwed in the pooper a few times. LLMs aren’t that, at least not yet. So the bottom line is: do use them for things that don’t matter, retain lawyers, accountants, business andvisors, and other professionals to avoid getting screwed.
- smarm52 2y agoThat's actually an interesting point. Do CEOs matter? Startup CEOs certainly do, they're actually doing something that involves work. But do CEOs of more mature companies matter? Arguably not, since they commonly do more harm than good. The focus of the latter CEO is to secure their own power at the expense of the organization [1]. And so, having a CEO that doesn't do that, even if flawed, seems like a better thing to have. [1] De Mesquita, B. B., Smith, A., Siverson, R. M., & Morrow, J. D. (2005).
