No, you can't. The only thing LLM's replace is internet commentators.
- blindriver 2y agoAs I explained below, I avoided having to learn anything about ML, PyTorch or any other APIs when trying to classify posts based on how political they were and which affiliation they were. That was holding me back and it was easily replaced by an llm and a prompt. Literally took me minutes what would have taken days or weeks and the results are more than good enough.
- datadrivenangel 2y agoGPT 3.5 is more accurate at classifying tweets as liberal than it is at identifying posts that are conservative. If you're going for rough approximation, LLMs are great, and good enough. More care and conventional ML methods are appropriate as the stakes increase though.
- alexwebb2 2y agoGPT 3.5 has been very, very obsolete in terms of price-per-performance for over a year. Bit of a straw man.
- otabdeveloper4 2y ago> what would have taken days or weeks Nah, searching Stackoverflow and Github doesn't take "weeks". That said, due to how utterly broken internet search is nowadays, using an LLM as a search engine proxy is viable.
- portaouflop 2y agoNo you can’t; LLMs are dog shit at internet banter, too neutered
