Can’t tell what you’re trying to say or who you’re angry at. Rephrase please?


Were you perchance noting that according to some people «LLMs ... can hallucinate and create illogical outputs» (you also specified «useless», but that must be a further subset and will hardly create a «litter[ing]» here), but also that some people use «false information and faulty logic»?

Noting that people are imperfect is not a justification for the weaknesses in LLMs. Since around late 2022 some people started stating LLMs are "smart like their cousin", to which the answer remains "we hope that your cousin has a proportionate employment".

If you built a crane that only lifts 15kg, it's no justification that "many people lift 10". The purpose of the crane is to lift as needed, with abundance for safety.

If we build cranes, it is because people are not sufficient: the relative weakness of people is, far from a consolation of weak cranes, the very reason why we want strong cranes. Similarly for intelligence and other qualities.

People are known to use use «false information and faulty logic»: but they are not being called "adequate".

There's a subculture around here that thinks it normal to downvote without any rebuttal - equivalent to "sneering and leaving" (quite impolite), almost all times it leaves us without a clue about what could be the point of disapproval.
