Well, it isn’t great. Computers are logic, and LLM tools are not really able to derive logic from language.

Is there is enough logic q&a yeah they manage to produce something like what people talk about.

My experience with this has been terrible, I find them useless.

monsieur, what good is a new-born baby?

LLMs are not intellence. They are not AGI. They do not have the reasoning skills of a baby. This is not something they will "grow into". No amount of additional training data in the world will turn LLMs into AGI. Any argument to the contrary is pure, 100% copium to justify the hundreds of billions of dollars industry has poured into this technology.

hot air balloons aren't birds either, monsieur

That analogy still doesn't mean LLMs are a form of intelligence with reasoning capability.

it also doesn't mean sulfur is a metal

If and when you try to derive logic from the statistical model that is an LLM, you will face the same problem that Bertrand Russel did.

Good luck.

LLMs kill stackexchange and all of the wonderful gift economy, because they replace humans in the loop with uncanny humanoids with whom it is impossible by their nature to have a real connection.

I think the next generation of popular counterculture service is going to be one which goes to extreme lengths to verify that the participants are authentic humans.

So Blade Runner is a documentary of the future?

Starting in the Internet first then IRL.

I joke but this is already has been happening for many years: email verification, captcha, pics with a customized message.. just like “AI” was present in 90s digital cameras.

>i mean, you could totally solve a problem yourself and not write it up. i did that lots of times too!

sure. that's how we shifted to a hustle culture. launch something useful, get fanbase, and then think of writing it up for marketing purposes.

but obviously the dynamic here isn't necessarily a community of like minded people sharing info. But more of a semi-captive audience interested in seeing more of the product.

no, i mean, for example, i got gnu patch to compile and work on windows nt 3.51 under cygwin, but i never made the additional effort to send the necessary diffs to paul eggert so that, if he wanted to integrate them, nobody else would have to do the same thing
