LLMs have a use case, it’s just really limited and the vast majority of what companies, and people broadly, use it for is either not the best case for it or not even something it can/should do.
If you know how to use them they can save time. You still need to validate everything it gives you, but as a developer I can use one to generate small code snippets or give it documentation and ask questions as a quick reference.
But these are not automation tools. They are not worker replacements. and they aren’t replacements for research even if they can get you started on research…
LLMs, and neural nets in general, can never be AGI no matter how much companies wish it could be.

Yeah, unfortunately the marketing people have made the LLM synonymous to AI. It’s a damn shame.
