I would guess it's been around 1-2 years since you last tried seriously using a language model for any practical use cases, right? It makes sense to not use them if that is your experience, but it's hard to imagine anyone saying this who has actually been following along for the last few years to now. SOTA from 2 years ago now comfortably runs on a single GPU. A high end GPU can easily out perform SOTA from then both in (general!) knowledge reproduction, and capabilities (including saying things like "I don't know" when you ask beyond the encoded knowledge).
