My favourite take so far is the comparison to the introduction of the microwave. Some people really believed that they’d never have to cook again. So what we got was actually a way to make crap quality meals or reheat things when we don’t have time. This is roughly analogous to the output I get from the LLM.
You need to learn how to use a microwave. It's way more versatile than people think. And more of a steamer than an oven. https://cookanyday.com/collections/recipes
(This is not an analogy about LLMs anymore.)
Until I actually got to the link, I thought it was going to be Technology Connections.
I just wanted to have a gander at some microwave recipes, but that site bombarded me with 3 full screen promotional pop up and still didn't give me any recipes because I have to tap show more results because the first few is products they're selling. At least that's my experience on mobile, using waterfox with adblock and even a DNS filter.
Yeah but let me present my counterpoint, the air-fryer.
You can make a lot of things with a good microwave, but just putting something in doesn't work for that purpose, yes.
