I don't think it's necessarily because of lack of generalizability. We (SWEs) built it, so we naturally have the most intimate knowledge of how to dogfood/use it. And so the cycle intensifies (use, provide feedback, improve). There's many positive examples of LLMs being useful in document based workflows in other domains as well!
- dleink 2y agoIf you were on the early internet talking to someone about music or woodworking or whatever, you could reasonably assume they were a tech person because it was not simple to get online. It took a minute for it to spread.
- frankfrank13 2y agoMaybe! But you could say the inverse of lots of things that SWE's built. SWE's built the bloomberg terminal! SWE's built CRMs! I think its at least possible that LLMs are VERY useful for SWEs and a small number of other professions, but is unlikely to massively scale beyond that
