@tonyarnold@mastodon.social I don't express what I do with it very often - because I feel like it's a fast way to get "you're using it wrong" or a "not the right model" discussion, which I have no patience for...
But at the end of the day I feel like it's kind of a forklift. It can be useful (although sometimes fails) and big operations and moving code around. But you wouldn't do small things with a forklift, and usually when trying to do small or detail oriented things it's much faster to not use an LLM.

@tonyarnold@mastodon.social I think attempts to push LLMs into some sort of compiler abstraction layer comparison thing are completely misguided. I'm of the age now where I've seen multiple tools with multiple levels of abstraction all simultaneously be used. It's ok if everyone doesn't have the same approach or the same tech stack. LLMs to me seem like a new tool laterally instead of a new abstraction vertically.

@colincornaby@mastodon.social this is a great take: it's just a tool. It also happens to be extremely interesting technologically, so technology maximalists are trying to jam it into spots it doesn't fit super well.
