not to dissuade you from a thing you find useful but are you aware that the national weather service produces an Area Forecast Discussion product in each local NWS office daily or more often that accomplishes this with human meteorologists and clickable jargon glossary?

Doesn’t dissuade me at all, that’s a really neat service. I’m not American though, and even if my own country had a similar service I still enjoying tuning the results to focus on what I’m interested in. And it was just an example of the kinds of computer-human interfaces that are newly possible from this technology.

Anytime you have data and want it explained in a casual way — and it’s not mission critical to be extremely precise — LLMs are going to be a good option to consider.

More useful AGI-like behaviours may be enabled by combining LLMs with other technologies down the line, but we shouldn’t try to pretend that LLMs can do everything nor are they useless.
