Too many people see LLMs as authorities they just aren't....

This is more a 'human' problem than an 'AI' problem.

In general it's weird as heck that the industry is full force going into chatbots as a search replacement.

Like, that was a neat demo for a low hanging fruit usecase, but it's pretty damn far from the ideal production application of it given that the tech isn't actually memorizing facts and when it gets things right it's a "wow, this is impressive because it really shouldn't be doing a good job at this."

Meanwhile nearly no one is publicly discussing their use as classifiers, which is where the current state of the tech is a slam dunk.

Overall, the past few years have opened my eyes to just how broken human thinking is, not as much the limitations of neural networks.
