I say this as someone who has used them to boilerplate/scaffold a bit of code by this point: Economic Value of LLMs is debatable, if only because they're being too broadly applied.
- Throaway1975123 6mo agoDebatable sure. Not 0. Tulips are 0. They add nothing to anyone's output. LLM's are not. LLM's are not tulips.
- skeeter2020 6mo agoThis is changing the narative. Nobody really cares about tulips and some dumb throwaway comparison. Unless LLMs are worth an awful lot the math here does not make sense. That is both debatable and important.
- Throaway1975123 6mo agoNo it isn't changing the narrative. Tulip bulbs were a huge bubble based on speculation, completely. No one ever used a tulip to create a piece of software, or anything else. Their economic value was precisely 0. The whole thing was based on a bubble. LLM's may be IN a bubble, but they aren't tulips.
- hirako2000 6mo agoSince I brought up the tulips: People do care about Tulips. They do have value. So do LLMs. How many people will remain willing to pay for them, and how much, is what we call speculation.
