Difference between calculators and LLMs: calculators are 99.9% right 😀 I think LLMs are super interesting but right now they can only be trusted when their outputs is formally verified. At least that's how I use them (lately, generating tests for new compiler constructs).
Yes, they are not accurate. Physicians do mistakes too (and they do not wear a badge saying so). I think it is obvious that we are witnessing a revolution.
I agree although I think it's still very early. In a few years from now I think it will definitely be applied almost everywhere. Humans make mistakes too but this is a computer we are talking about, we expect them to be accurate :)
But... my post is not about whether LLMs are accurate vs calculators. My post is more about, history teaches us that orders of magnitude steps forward have a number, regardless, people complaining and not getting it. And this one is no exception.
Ah totally (sorry i missed your point). I admit I live in a bubble where everyone I interact with is 500% into it, I am the most skeptical (although I try to use it as much as I can). Yeah it's unfortunate some people don't get it (esp. programmers). Will be hard for them to remain productive.
