yeah LLMs aren't at all reliable for any of the use cases he proposed. ๐๐ฎโ๐จ literally any modern word processor is more reliable for spelling/grammar checks, and the suggestion of using them for research is always nauseating.

by portraying LLMs as a panacea, the hypemongers have successfully kneecapped a lot of people's ability to consider alternative tools that are often well known, widely used for decades, and solve the specific problem they're targeting with a 0% fail rate.
