Big brain tech dude got yet another clueless take over at HackerNews etc? Here's the place to vent. Orange site, VC foolishness, all welcome.

This is not debate club. Unless it’s amusing debate.

I am increasingly convinced that the people who claim AIs are useful for any given subject of any import (coding, art, math, teaching, etc.) should immediately be regarded as having absolutely zero knowledge in that subject, even (and especially) if they claim otherwise.

From what I can see in my interactions with LLMs, the only thing they are actually decent at are summarizing blocks of text, and even then if it's important you should parse the summary carefully to make sure they didn't miss important details.
