    True but LLMs genuinely are useful when you want random things like fiction, roleplay, etc.

      As long as you don’t care about consistency, maybe…

      (I mean, since they can’t learn without retraining the whole model, if you’re writing anything of any significant length you’d basically need to refeed them the whole context and backstory so far every prompt, which I assume would eventually hit some prompt size limit…)

        True. I meant it is useful for one time things like game night or something, not for work.

      Sure, they’re not totally useless, but that doesn’t make their current iteration or rampant proliferation ethical or even worth defending.

        Agreed. I have the same opinion about crypto and all current new “innovations” in tech. Everything blown to a bubble without any real utility.
