    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!)
