I personally believe magical unicorns are going to save us

your suggestion is to treat it like a person but (surprise surprise) you don't have any specific ideas of how and why that works. your idea just sounds like marketing

> I don't see why people expect llm to work out of the box instead

because it's not a person? because you have to do it all the time? because of the way literally all other software works?

they are discussing it?

> much like a human adult.

it doesn't sound like you really understand what these statements mean. if LLMs are like any humans it's those with late stage dementia, not healthy adults

what really comes through in this description is a fear of judgement from other people, which I think is extremely relatable for anyone who's ever posted a question on stack overflow. I don't think it's a coincidence that the popularity of these tools is coinciding with a general atmosphere of low trust and social cohesion in the US and other societies this last decade

this is known as the no true scotsman fallacy

> There's literally a step called "training". What do you think that is?

oh wow they use the same word so they must mean the same thing! hard to argue with that logic :)

in general, if the question is "can I divide this heterogenous population into two mutually exclusive groups based on fuzzy subjective criteria" the answer is... no

somebody had to effectively pay you to look at the ads, and you had to pay someone else for your refrigerator. does that distinction make sense?

ok, but there's a spectrum between fully reproducible empirical evidence and divine revelation. I'm not convinced it's impossible to measure productivity in a meaningful way, even if it isn't perfect. it at least seems better to try than... whatever this is

it means the WW1 front in the US as well. I've never heard it used to refer to the western frontier/American frontier/wild west

this is just not a very interesting way to talk about technology. I'm glad it feels like a religious experience to you, I don't care about that. I care about reality

this whole analogy is so tired. "LLMs are stupid, but some humans are stupid too, therefore LLMs can be smart as well". let's put aside the obvious bad logic and think for one second about WHY some people are better than others at certain tasks. it is always because they have lots of practice and learned from their experiences. something LLM categorically cannot do

it sounds like the money was the upside, not the ads!

> Yes, I know this sounds ridiculous and over-the-top.

in that case you should come with more data. tell us how you measured your productivity improvement. all you've said here is that it makes you feel good

> There are a ton of current careers that are just email + meetings + powerpoint + spreadsheet that can go the same way.

it's interesting how it's never your job that will be automated away in this fantasy, it's always someone else's.

if you really liked ads you would have paid extra

this is true, my dad is Volodymyr Zelensky

doctors choose their jobs too and they generally encourage people to stay out of the ER

respectfully, you probably do not know the inner motivations of every successful person you know. what may look like passion to you may be grind to them

> I've been able to help setup cross app automation for my partner's business, remodel my house, plan a trip of Japan and assist with the cultural barrier, vibe code apps, technical support and so much more.

you could have done all of this without a chatbot.

it just needs us to wait one more year right?

amusing that this comment contains a subtle appeal to authority. "take nobody's word for it" -- you can take the Royal Society's word for that

> leading to an expectation that providers will see more patients per hour

> reducing their overall workload

what?
