LLM inevitablists definitely assume future developments will improve their current state.
- ascorbic 1y agoYes, but the difference from the others, and the thing it has in common with early smartphones and the web, is that it's already useful (and massively popular) today.

- hammyhavoc 1y agoWhat uses are you finding for it in the real world? I've found them nothing but unreliable at best, and quite dangerous at worst in terms of MCP and autonomous agents. Definitely not ready for production, IMO. I don't think they ever will be for most of what people are trying to use them for. "Novelty" comes to mind.
- guappa 1y agoI use them to generate obvious AI text that talks badly about AI on linkedin and get people riled up!

- durumu 1y agoYes, LLMs are currently useful and are improving rapidly so they are likely to become even more useful in the future. I think inevitable is a pretty strong word but barring government intervention or geopolitical turmoil I don't see signs of LLM progress stopping.
- hammyhavoc 1y agoWhy would they progress significantly than where they are now? An LLM is an LLM. More tokens doesn't mean better capabilities, in fact, quite the opposite seems to be the case, and suggests smaller models aimed at specific tasks are the "future" of it.
