I feel the same way about not understanding how LLMs work. I've found Hugginface's tutorials a good place to start: https://huggingface.co/course/

It may be that the game has already changed and people are just starting to figure out the new rules. Im looking forward to continuing to slap my forehead in these "wish i had seen that low-hanging fruit" moments.
Suddenly being able to largely automate so many formerly human-only tasks using plain language instructions makes me feel like the nature of the computing experience itself may be evolving profoundly. It has been said that technological progress generally shifts people from being tool users to tool managers, and these language models certainly fit that trend.

“Suddenly being able to largely automate so many formerly human-only tasks using plain language instructions makes me feel like the nature of the computing experience itself may be evolving profoundly.”
Can you provide some examples of the so many tasks that these LLM’s are performing for you that a human was needed before?
I've used Erlang professionally and like the ecosystem very much.
I am a bit annoyed with myself for still not having a better understanding of how these LLM's work, because that's important, at the end of the day for evaluating where they are best applied, and where danger lurks.
But they are clearly going to be a game changer. Maybe more, maybe less than some people think, but I've seen enough hype cycles to think there is some substance here.
