But...is it and are they? Gen AI boosters tend to make assertions like this as if they're unassailable facts, but never seem interested in backing them up. I guess it's easier than thinking.
- wiml 1y agoThe whole mindset of LLM boosterism is that thinking is obsolete anyway — all you need is pattern matching on existing data — so it's not surprising that they don't want to indulge in it excessively.
- j45 1y agoThinking is absolutely not obsolete with LLMs. Human thought is the only way any software (including LLMs) operate efficiently. Same goes for leveraging LLMs.
