doesn't mean the LLM is not useful. My favorite use case for LLMs is them doing something I know 100% how to solve myself. However, they do it much faster and I can 100% understand their solution and give feedback in case it is wrong. No surprises. I much prefer this as it allows me to work on multiple tasks in parallel.

- pfortuny 1y agoRight, you’ve just described a calculator.
- a_bonobo 1y agoYes!!! My favorite recent think pieces have been on LLMs as a 'normal' technology. Nothing revolutionary, no AGI, just a normal tool. An accountant knows how to do math but they use the math in Excel to do it for them. They 100% know how to do it themselves manually, but Excel does it far faster.
