LLMs are good for identifying plants. And transcription. And a bunch of other things I can't think of right now. If you've ever had to do transcription by hand, you know the pain, and you'll be so grateful to have a machine do it for you.
The problem is people trying to shoehorn LLMs into everything and calling it "Artificial Intelligence".
We had a lot of that technology before and didn’t need inefficient AI to do it for us. Also do LLMs(large language models) actually identify plants?
We functioned without this bullshit just fine only a few years ago. This whole AI buzz is a post-covid thing and people are acting like we’d all die and civilization would grind to a halt if we don’t let data centres fuck us up our collective asshole.
