    That’s the biggest problem in my opinion. They are scary good at generating text. But there’s effectively no filter, it’s just an endless stream of vaguely plausible text, true or false. And unfortunately, humans are prone to think “wow that’s a lot of text, they must’ve done their research and put in tons of effort!” because historically that was for the most part true.

    For example: all those guys who say “AI made me 10x more productive” are almost certainly measuring it by lines of code. As we all know, more code is almost inevitably an unmaintainable buggy mess.

      no, the biggest problem is they are stealing someone else’s work and making money with it, depriving the original author reward for their work.

      I mean, LLMs are quite literally random word generators with weighted input. The one thing they do best is generate random strings of words according to the rule set defined within the model.

      …and 10x longer than it needs to be.

      It didn’t made me more produvtive but it for sure made me save a LOT of time writing boilerplate code
