    Lets use LLMs for things LLMs are useful for. It is not a panacea, and it is not appropriate for every use case

      Yeah, LLMs are interesting tech products to play with and find some niche uses for.

      But for the love of god they are not “prop up the entire stock market and numerous multi-trillion-dollar companies indefinitely” good!

      What is it useful for? I actually have a hard time finding a use for it… Its alright at book recommendations, sometimes.

        Movie recommendations is my biggest thing, personally.

        And lots of other purposes. Just because a ton of people are misusing this tool and treating it like GAI doesn’t mean that it isn’t a useful tool. Even something as simple as proofreading a letter has massive utility for some people.

          Definitely proof reading. Especially for people who can barely write intelligibly. They can check themselves if the meaning is still correct and they will learn grammar from the process.
