It's funny how that works in your mind. There comes a snake oil salesmen and says that LLMs are the bees'knees and you just take as a given without any critical thought. But when people actually have proof that LLMs are nothing sp

Thanks for the input, very constructive. You sound like you really know what you are talking about, with all the counterexamples and links you gave to support your thesis that I am a "pervert". That's powerful debate skills,

I would challenge you to use LLMs to prove me wrong, then LLMs to prove me right. Cause they will gladly invent stuff up to agree with whatever you ask them to do. Hard pass on spending time debating with the fanbase of a tool which claim

I wholeheartedly disagree. We have already for some time plateaued both in terms of LLM model usefulness and in terms of efficiency. You can already see some of the bigger players trying to squeeze out more money out of their victims, pardo
