I find the whole site being covered in images of skinny waifu girls... offputting. The guide itself seems fine, if high-level. [This](https://chat.lmsys.org/?leaderboard) is a really nice link I hadn't seen before.

I don't mind waifu girls, but I really don't know how these images are related to Llama. It's not an article about Stable Diffusion right...?

Huge content farm vibe.

Edit: I read the article carefully. Yeah, not just content farm vibe. It's a content farm.

> What can you do with Llama models?

> You can use Llama models the same ways you use ChatGPT.

> Chat. Just ask questions about things you want to know.

> Coding. Ask for a short program to do something in a specific computer language.

> Outlines. Giving an outline of certain technical topics.

> Creative writing. Let the model write a story for you.

> Information extraction. Summarize an essay. Ask specific questions about an essay.

> Rewrite. Write your paragraph in a different tone and style.

Obvious padding content for SEO. Flagged.

Maybe they just like anime a lot? Hanlon's razor and all.

I only got a couple paragraphs in before thinking, "This was written by a fluff AI, and probably not even Llama." I think Llama has better English proficiency.

I found them beautiful

Yeah, a lot of them are very cool.

Same here... the images are beautiful but seem completely unrelated to the topic (other than being AI-generated - but they could've generated images that have some sort of relation to the topic instead!). It kind of shows what the author has been using the AI for, I suppose :P.

I would usually agree but in this case its a pun on “models”. I find it quite funny.

Oh I see... and a "model" is always young, skinny, white and female I guess (cannot blame the AI though, I guess that is what you get if you look at the internet as a whole as your training data).

EDIT: I had to lookup "waifu" and it seems the author probably prompted for "waifu model"(?)... according to Wikipedia, for those like me who are not into that sort of thing:

"A Waifu is an illustrated female character from an anime or any non-live action media in which an individual becomes sexually attracted to."

You are right in that is neither high-brow or PC. :)

> skinny waifu girls

I think the idea of the images was a Lama (the animal) and a model (the girl) - Lama models

> The guide itself seems fine

The piece is informative for those new to the subject, but not much beyond that.

In my presentations about it at work, I’ve been generating pictures of my dog doing things to illustrate various things. No different I suppose.

I thought they were a bit over the top, but what really caught my eye was how creepy looking that first llama is.
