That’s a good text. I’ve been comparing those “LLM smurt!” crowds with Christian evangelists, due to their common usage of fallacies like inversion of burden of proof, changing goalposts, straw man, etc.
However it seems that people who believe in psychics might be a more accurate comparison.
That said LLMs are great tools to retrieve info when you aren’t too concerned about accuracy, or when you can check the accuracy yourself. For example the ChatGPT output of prompts like
“Give me a few [language] words that can be used to translate the [language] word [word]”
“[Decline|Conjugate] the [language] word [word]”
“Spell-proof the following sentence: [sentence]”
is really good. I’m still concerned about the sheer inefficiency of the process though, energy-wise.
