Thank you. Most of the hate toward LLMs seem to focus on their not being even a little oracular, with little value placed on how much of an incredible tool they are for natural language manipulation in general as in this fine story. Our new pal is not very godlike but still very nice to have around.

Exactly. Now we have a new UI paradigm and a new, incredibly powerful NLP tool in our toolkit.

Is this AGI? Of course not. Is this useful and valuable? Obviously.

I don't see that. I see contempt for the idea that AI can be applied to everything or even tagged on to things with little or no AI for the purpose of marketing or attracting investment.
