I’d say the biggest difference between LLMs and SVMs is that a lot of people find LLMs useful on a daily basis.

I’ve been using them almost daily for over two years now, and I keep on finding new things they can do that are useful to me.

Is there a post on your blog that lists your different uses of LLMs?

Not in a single place, but it came up in a podcast episode the other day - about 32 minutes in to this one I think https://softwaremisadventures.com/p/simon-willison-llm-weird...

They’re useful, but not for what AI companies seem to be pushing for.

I like that they can reorganize my data, document QA is pretty killer as long as the document was prepared well.

Embeddings are sick.

But content creation… not useful. Problem solving? Personally have not found them useful (haven’t tried o1 yet)
