I have finally found the value of llms in my daily work.
I never ask them anything that requires rigorous research and deep knowledge of subject matter.
But stuff like “create a script in python to do X and Y” or “how to do XY in bash” combined with “make it better” produces really good and working in 95% of the time results and saves my time a lot! No more googling for adhoc scripting. It is like having a junior dev by your side 24/7. Eager to pick up any task you throw at them, stupid and overconfident. Never self-reviewing himself. But “make it better” actually makes things better at least once.
- ExtraEmpathy 2y agoThis matches my experience closely. LLMs are great at turning 10 minute tasks into 1 minute tasks. They're horrible at funding deep truth or displaying awareness of any kind. But put some documentation into a RAG and it saves me looking things up.
