LLMs are good at writing long pages of meaningless words. If you have a number of pages to turn in with your writing assignment and you've only written 3 sentences they will help you produce a low quality result that will pass the requirements.
- chiefalchemist 10mo agoLow-quality is relative. LLMs' low-quality is most people's above-average. The fact the copy - either way - is likely to go through some sort of copy-by-committee process makes the case for LLMs even stronger (i.e., why waste your time). Not always, but quite often.
- LtWorf 10mo agoNo it's not. It's low quality because it's extremely verbose and that wastes time.
- chiefalchemist 10mo agoThat's a function of the prompt. The tool only performs as well as you're able to instruct it.
- LtWorf 10mo agoYou expect people who cannot write to become skilled writers to instruct llms?
- chiefalchemist 10mo agoNo. I'm expecting you not to blame the screwdriver because people decide to use it as a hammer. But to your point, you might not like the slop, but that slop, sadly, is still better than what it would have been otherwise.
- LtWorf 10mo agoIt's just longer, it won't carry more information.
- chiefalchemist 10mo agoThe irony here is great. Perfect. Thank you for proving my point. I can see why you struggle with LLMs.
