We need to check the gen AI hype and get back to reality

The power for transformers is the generalizability of being able to learn a function to transform an arbitrary input signal in any modality into an arbitrary output signal in any other modality. Chat is fine, image generators fine, universal translation was more than fine. But any thing that can have a symbolic representation is a target for creating a new product using transformers. I think the big value will come from some random obscure places like CAD or real time graphics pipelines. I just think it will be a victory of a million paper cuts where it gets more cost effective than the alternatives in a million various industries. It will just be a ubiquitous technique when solving computing problems and people are going to create more specific datasets for specific problems and continue to get each industrial usage to a level where it's good enough at each task to change each market.

Any LLM that supports an input seed will return the same outputs given the same inputs (prompt, temperature, etc.)

ChatGPT is. Use it through the API.

The r's in strawberry thing is an artifact of tokenization. Ask it to spell it out with dashes between the letters or something first and it'll do fine.
