@futurebird@sauropods.win @anonymouspl@expressional.social @Landa@graz.social @cabel@social.panic.com LLMs aren't useful at all, they only *seem* useful. Paper straws are more useful than LLMs because, although they don't last very long and aren't recyclable at all (unlike plastic straws, which are slightly recyclable), they *do* adequately perform the task they're put to.
LLMs are like very realistic wax fruit, they do an incredible job at looking like they're just as good as the real thing, but they definitely are not.

@StarkRG@myside-yourside.net @futurebird@sauropods.win @anonymouspl@expressional.social @Landa@graz.social @cabel@social.panic.com LLMs are highly useful in the field of trying to translate animal communication into something we can understand, and significant advances have been made in this area – this in turn will allow us to stand a chance of having the slight possibility of maybe being able to have a system in place to attempt to communicate with aliens, when they land (once we’ve hidden all our QWERTY keyboards or they’ll piss themselves laughing). That’s about the only honest use for them that I can see, though.
