APIs came pre-ruined. If you weren't accounting for API abuse through rate-limiting then you're basically inviting vampires into your home so they can borrow a cup of sugar.
LLMs wish they could ruin APIs and the open web, so everyone would be forced into a new and more expensive service. The problem is that we still don't actually have a real value proposition for them. LLMs aren't forging steel or drafting life-changing research papers ("yet"), and we really are seeing no light at the end of the tunnel that suggests the investment is worth it. Every business you just listed is flying by the seat of their pants and hoping they get somewhere useful.
- websap 2y agoMost developers I know use LLMs in some fashion or the other. Whether its too debug code, ask for examples, or get regex expressions. They might not be very accurate, but they are better than searching on Google, filtering through a bunch of SEO optimized non-sense 101 articles and finally finding something useful. Similarly, my friends in other fields are using LLMs to help them write documents, explore ideas, etc.
