Sometimes people just like to build stuff for the sake of it.

Almost like hackers, doing shit just for the heck of it because they can (mostly)

Real HN in a nutshell: People who don't build stuff telling people who do build stuff that the thing they built is useless :P

It's a hacker forum, let people hack!

If anything have a dig at OP for posting the thread too soon before the parent commenter has had the chance to gather any data, haha

Just because you can, doesn't mean you should

If you're building a dinosaur sanctuary sure

Or an Internet surveillance-capitalism panopticon.

Great attitude! I recently built a tool for my wife that uses an LLM to automate a task. Is it production ready? Definitely not. But it saves her time even in its current state.

Sometimes it's the joy of creation. Utility and optimization come later. It's fun. Like a hobby.

I am not going to claim or report any kind of accuracy, especially with such a small model and such a specific, context dependent use case. It is the user’s responsibility to cross validate if it’s accurate enough for their use case and upgrade model or use another approach if not.

A user buys a car because it gets them from point A to point B. I get what you’re saying though - we are earlier along the adoption curve for these models and more responsibility sits with the user. Over time the expectations will no doubt increase.
