Should we listen to Sabine in this case? Isn't this another manifestation of a generally intelligent person, who happens to be an expert in her field weighing in on something she's not an expert on, thinking her expertise transfers?
This is the most common 'smart person' fallacy out there.
As for my 2 cents, LLMs can do sequence modeling and prediction tasks, so as long as a problem can be reduced to sequence modeling (which is a lot of them!), they can do the job.
This is like saying that the Fourier Transform is played out because you can only do so much with manipulating signal frequencies.

This is mostly mirroring my experience with it, which is a straightforward report of "it doesn't work for me, even though I keep trying because everyone else is hyped about it and apparently it's getting better all the time".
