No one said that LLMs aren’t good for anything.
I pointed out — in response to another poster downplaying mention of a well-known and undisputed limitation that LLMs often have — that it is valid to consider these well-known and undisputed limitations if one is considering using them for anything other than a toy.
It is downright silly to discourage discussion of well-known and undisputed limitations! The only reason for that can only be entirely emotional as there is genuinely nothing tangible to be gained by being steadfast in silence about a fact that isn’t up for debate.
- space_fountain 2y agoI think somehow there were a series of miscommunications. This kind of sub token manipulation task is hard for an LLM for somewhat predictable reasons. Knowing those limitations are important, but don't come up too often in practical circumstances. Outside of contrived examples counting the number of letters in a long word is pretty rare. I took your response to be arguing against a message I'd read to be saying something like the above. Especially when you basically seemed to be saying that limitations like this are important in everything but toy applications. It's uninteresting because it doesn't point towards larger problems with their use in the kind of application they're being used for and are intended for unlike prompts that point to weakness in logic or propensity to hallucinate.
