We're talking about LLMs. They're useless for most practical applications by definition.
And when they're not entirely useless (basically, autocomplete) they're orders of magnitude less cost-effective than older almost equivalent alternatives, so they're effectively useless at that, too.
They're fancy extremely costly toys without any practical use, that thanks to the short-sighted greed of the scammers selling them will soon become even more useless due to model collapse.
