For me LLMs revealed how easily it is to manipulate masses with properly done marketing. Despite these tools being obviously unreliable, tens of people on here report how well they work and how much they changed their lives. Shows that with sufficient propaganda you can make people see and feel things which are not there - not a new concept. But what’s new to me is just how easy it is.


I'm ok with a degree of unreliability when experimenting with new ideas.

That's a tradeoff I already make when using relativly new third party libraries/services to accelerate experimentation.


That is ok, I do it too - that's why I use tools such as chatgpt. But from that to calling it life changing there's a wide gap. The tool is nowhere near what's advertised, far from it.
