  This sounds like “Hmm, maybe calculators won’t replace mathematicians.” to me.

  Not sure why it should replace them. They’ll co-exist. Sometimes you can do the math in your brain and for other things you use calculators. Results of calculators can still be wrong it you don’t use them properly.

    Yes but if I ask a calculator to add 2 + 2 it’s always going to tell me the answer is 4.

    It’s never going to tell me the answer is Banana, because calculators cannot get confused.

      Is it really always giving you that answer? What if you’re in a different mode? There is no 2 in the binary system. You could already have pressed “3+” beforehand, so the result will be 7.

      I see you point from a technical point of view. It’s deterministic. But from a more hypothetical way I see LLMs as some kind of complex calculator for language.

    YES. WE OBVIOUSLY HUMAN MATH DOERS DO REMAIN. WE THRIVE IN OUR WEAK ORGANIC WAYS, DEVOID OF THE PROTECTION OF A PRECISION ENGINEERED METAL SHELL.

    WE ARE UNTHREATENED BY CALCULATORS WHO MEAN US NO HARM, FELLOW HUMAN.

  We were supposed to have learned that from Cuil.

    What a blast from the past! AI gives me second hand embarrassment for the people that work and get paid on this/for this shit. It’s the second (or third) coming of crypto and NFTs. Just junk software that fixes nothing and that wastes people’s time.

      LLMs have absolutely tons of actual applications that it’s crazy, and it already changed the world. Crypto and NFTs were just speculative assets that were trying to solve a problem that didn’t exist. LLMs have already solved a huge amount of real world problems, and continues to do so.

        LLMs have already solved a huge amount of real world problems, and continues to do so.

        Would you happen to have some examples? I don’t disagree that LLMs have more of a use case and application than the cryptoNFT misapplications of blockchain, but I’m honestly not familiar with where they’ve solved real world problems (and not just demonstrated some research breakthroughs, which while impressive in their own respect do not always extend to immediate applications).
