  I work in a health-care-adjacent industry and you’d be surprised how many people blindly follow LLMs for medical advice

  I only found one usecase where it shines and even then I had to verify the output twice to make sure it doesn’t fuck up before I push it into production. String manipulation is pretty good with it instead of having to write a bash one liner with a lot of sed and awk

  A lot of people are very stupid, and also very easily tricked/conned.

  It’s been doing wonders to help me improve materials I produce so that they fit better to some audiences. Also I can use those to spot missing points / inconsistencies against the ton of documents we have in my shop when writing something. It’s quite useful when using it as a sparing partner so far.

    Rule of thumb is that AI can be useful if you use it for things you already know.
    They can save time and if they produce shit, you’ll notice.
    Don’t use them for things you know nothing about.

      LLM’s specifically bc ai as a range of practices encompass a lot of things where the user can be slightly more dumb.

      You’re spot on in my opinion.

    It’s great when you have basic critical thinking skills.

    Unfortunately, many people don’t have those and just use AI as a substitute for their own brain.

      Yeah well same applies for a lot of tools… I’m not certified for flying a plane and look at me not flying one either… but I’m not shitting on planes…

        But planes don’t routinely spit out false information.

    Rearranging text is a vastly different use case than diagnosis and relevant information retrieval
