Anyone else completely confused about what this article is even about?
> working with [chatbots] feels like groping through a cave in the dark – a horrible game I call "PromptQuest" – while being told this is improving my productivity.
Large language models are a single kind of AI, and a particularly annoying kind when you are forced to use them for deterministic or fact seeking tasks
or did you read the article? you're probably an LLM. why am I here? fuck this website
I don't think the future of AI is with LLMs either. Not only LLMs anyway.
This seems to be someone who has no idea how to use LLMs yelling at clouds. Or maybe just someone pretending to have no idea because it makes for good cloud-yelling.
How to use LLMs? There’s no “how to use LLMs”, you just tell them what you want, and they give it to you. Or they give you sometimes, and sometimes they give you something else. Or they’re telling you they’re giving you exactly what you want, but don’t. Or they seem like they’re giving you what you want, only it’s got a secret mistake somewhere inside, that you need to dig through and search for. Maybe there’s no mistake after all.
Yes, this is clearly a new wonder-technology, and all criticisms of it are just old people, back on their cloud-yelling bullshit.
