I'm sorry, but what's the point here ? It's not for a job or improve a LLM or doing something useful per se, just to "enjoy" how version X or Y of an LLM can solve problems. I don't want to sound grumpy or but it doesn't achieve anything, this is just a showcase of how a "calculator with a small probability of failure can succeed". Move on, do something useful, don't stop being amazed by AI but please stop throwing it at my face.

> Move on, do something useful, don't stop being amazed by AI but please stop throwing it at my face. Do you see the irony in what you did? So, how about you move on, do something useful, don't stop being annoyed by AI, but please stop throwing your opinion in anyone's face.

  One could argue that pointing out the pointlessness of LLM hype is infact useful, while producing that same hype is not

    You are conflating "hype" with any positive outlook. It has some uses and some people are using it. That's not "hype". It is exhausting to see it everywhere so I sympathize.

    Readers may enjoy looking into Peter Norvig and his contributions to the field, which they might find in positive contrast to any of the stereotypical LLM hype.

  I will stop when the AI bubble will burst and people will stop throwing at my face everyday about statistical models. It is litterally everywhere I look, I did not ask for it even when I filter the inputs. IMHO it would be nice to have an AI summarizer/filter (see the irony ?) for tech news (hn maybe ?) that filters out everything about AI, LLMs and company.

Author is Peter Norvig, who has definitely done “something useful” when it comes to AI. He’s earned some time for play.

> I don't want to sound grumpy Well, you didn't try very hard :) If you think that every model behaves the same way in terms of programming, you don't have a lot of experience with them. I find it useful to see how other people use all kinds of tools. AI is no different. It's like getting upset when someone compares how it's like using bun vs deno vs node.
