Sorry but if you can't make LLMs useful there is something wrong with how you are using them. The problwm with this whole system is that it's very helpful and valuable to the average person, as well as experts.
I'm sorry I wish you were correct but this narrative that LLMs don't work is false and bourne out of lack of experience or just flat out lies.
Lies will not defeat our very powerful opponents here, nor their massive and expensive weapons.
Pretending the enemy is useless when the opposite is true is just leaving yourself and your allies unprepared.
Yeah screw all those disabled people who benefit from it. We'll just group them in with the other counterfactuals you have to ignore to maintain an opinion like yours.
They are a tool, but some people use it as a replacement for actual knowledge, and take it as gospel. Its going to create a generation of idiots
Truth. I don't support US tech either but their LLMs are state of the art and VERY useful... No point lying about it. I'm supporting Mistral.ai instead now. Their model is good enough for my use cases, and I'm hoping their recent reported uptick in users like myself helps fund the research and hardware to make them even more competitive.
What is it that you find useful?
Medical help. Other than that, nothing that a local LLM couldn't do.
Eventually I believe it's going to result it worse care for the most people, but in the meantime, for some people it will mean early interventions. Maybe cure diseases... What humanity does from there I don't care to guess because it will probably be worse.
What do you mean by "medical help"?
Go that way and keep going until you see the sign marked none of your fucking business.
Why are you so angry? I'm trying to determine if there's actually a use for these text generators, and you first say "Sorry but if you can't make LLMs useful there is something wrong with how you are using them.", and then you refuse to actually explain what you're using it for, instead making vague hand-wavey statements.
