Everyone pretty much hates it, its just here is one of the few places online where money and stupidity can’t be waved around frantically to hide that.

Pressure to shove LLMs into everything because it convinced a bunch of vapid know-nothing middle managers and C-suite knobs it was “alive” and that their stock options would skyrocket has unfortunately poisoned the well of “AI”.
But yes, purpose-built ML models that are amazing and useful. And almost no one, in the grand scheme of things, is using them.
They are being used in science and medicine. We just don’t hear about them as often.
Because they don’t talk to you, so you can’t be “vibe coding on the edge of reality” or whatever stupid shit it was that one of the AI CEOs said.
The funny thing is, LLMs can be useful for exactly one thing: certain kinds of linguistic tasks. For example, if you were inventing a fictional language, it’s probably pretty good for that.
But using it as a general-purpose problem solving tool is beyond stupid.
They used them to play chess on kaggle, then the press reported the winner 😂
The obsession is so baffling to anyone who’s worked in ML (including language model researchers!)
They are in fact everywhere. We just don’t advertise their presence because no one cares. This stuff also goes by different names in different fields because people keep reinventing the wheel.
