    Wow, you mean a random stranger on the internet isn’t as good at something as you?? Say it ain’t so!

      That’s not what I said.

      LLMs are demonstrably bad at what they do, and what they do is just very basic writing, research and math.

      It’s not about things I know or don’t know. If you’re finding LLMs useful, you’re lacking in some foundational skills that everybody should practice and be capable of doing.

        Demonstrably bad at research and math, yes. So don’t use them for that purpose. A lot of work is being put into this area though, so it might change in the future.

        Basic writing? That’s such a broad task. As evaluated by what metric? One thing they’re very good at is writing texts that sound like they’re written by a human. If that’s what you need, then they’re great for the task. Especially so if you need a lot of it. I wouldn’t say that the ability to write a thousand words per minute is a foundational skill for anyone.

        “If you use LLMs you’re dumb and bad.” You’re literally a toxic gamer telling someone to “git gud.” Imagine calling someone stupid because they said they use a tool to help them solve a problem. Are outside who use calculators brain-dead idiots then?

          Again, not what I said.

          But given how difficult interpreting this simple comment has been for you, and your extremely weird reply (toxic gamer? what?) I think you’re better off using the LLM to interpret and write for you after all. Good day though!

              Your joke would work better against the guy boasting about using LLMs, not the one actively avoiding them. Maybe ask a LLM for an explanation as to why.

        Welcome to the real world. A lot of use are either disabled, or have been left behind, then shoved in the workforce so we can’t resolve those issues, and drained of resources as well.
