@theogrin @kkolakowski @alyssa LLMs don't necessarily need to generate stuff

There are signs of promise for LLMs that avoid hallucination by paraphrasing and permutating instead.

I recommend checking out perplexity.ai

LLMs are also quite helpful for automation; the base training data is just to get the relations right in the first place, then constraints, checks, temperature, and human validation can help vet things out

Base LLMs like GPT are useless to your average Joe but great for developers (i.e., you need to know prompt engineering and AI model tooling); ChatGPT is fun for conversations and the public but useless otherwise, and Perplexity is only good for taking multiple raw articles and quoting them directly

I might be a tad bit quick to defend LLM development because I believe the best way to go about adopting AI and general technology is to educate the public and encourage them to understand the tools they use, both their devices and their software

Yes, I am a Linux nerd who wishes people wanted to know why and how their systems work

But the curiosity AI has garnered from people could be a great opportunity, even if it's not particularly helpful for most poeple
