Useless They are not image generation models.

  Not useless. LLMs are the most general purpose computer algorithms ever created. They are getting smarter and cheaper at a geometric rate. What is a bad idea today could have useful applications tomorrow.

    > cheaper at a geometric rate Citation needed - my company is paying more than ever for code generation. I have no reason to believe (given anecdotes) that anyone finds themselves in the opposite situation.

      It keeps getting cheaper and better -- for me. I get a lot more use (read: cheaper per interaction) and much better quality results from the $20 that I spend on this stuff every month than I did several years ago. (And several years before that, it was all essentially unobtanium.)

      You’re paying more in total because the overall cost has gone down. This is normal economics when something useful gets cheaper. If you were to use original GPT-4 to do as much, you’d be paying an order of magnitude more.

  That's what makes it an interesting challenge.
