Yeah seriously it's so pathetic. Either embrace tech, or get left behind. The vast majority of Lemmy users might not like it but personally I refuse to get left behind.
LLMs can be a great tool if you're aware of their limitations. Stick to the more advanced models (avoid the "fast" ones that don't actually do any googling), check the sources it provides, be skeptical of everything it says, and you'll be fine.
An LLM helped me with a relationship issue I was having—and even diagnosed an issue I didn't even know my car had, when I asked it an unrelated question about fuel trims. It saved me hundreds by recognizing a problem I was unaware I had before it killed my catalytic converter.
Given that I would probably be single by now, and would have never discovered the issue without an LLM going, "hey by the way...", I am extremely grateful to OpenAI for what they've done for me and the future of humanity. Why would I hate on a technology that saved my relationship and nearly $1000?
What's most exciting to me is that the tech is still in its infancy, and it's already this good. The AI bubble will eventually burst, and the tech will eventually get good enough to shut up all the naysayers. AI just needs to get past its "growing pains" stage.
Stay strong; ignore the haters, and we'll weather this storm. Eventually AI will get REALLY good and then Lemmy will have to find something new to hate.
