I am neither bullish or bearish. LLM is a tool.
It's a hammer -- sometimes it works well. It summarizes the user reviews on a site... cool, not perfect, but useful.
And like every tool, it is useless for 90% of life's situations.
And I know when it's useful because I've already tried a hammer on 1000 things and have figured out what I should be using a hammer on.

LLM is a tool...It's a hammer If someone says, "This new type of hammer will increase productivity in the construction industry by 25%", it's something else in addition to being a tool. It's either a lie, or it's an incredible advance in technology.
- asadotzler 2y agoIt's a lie. Those constructed things would become increasingly sub-par requiring even more maintenance from workers that no longer exist because of the 25% efficiency gain. There is no win here. It's a shortcut for some people that will cost other people more time. It's burden shifting to the others on the team, in the industry, or in the near future. It's weak sauce from weak workers.
- hatthew 2y agoThe claims are a lie. The tool is still useful. Even if the hammer doesn't increase productivity by 25%, if it feels more comfortable to hold and I can use it for longer, I'm going to be happy with it, independent from any marketing.
- sexy_seedbox 2y agoYep, that's exactly how Microsoft is operating as a company recently: Copilot is a hammer—it needs to be used EVERYWHERE. Forget bug fixes and new feature rollouts, every department and product team at Microsoft needs to add Copilot. Microsoft customers MUST jump on the AI-bandwagon!
