I love the people who are like "I tried to replace Wolfram Alpha with ChatGPT why is none of the math right?" And blame ChatGPT when the problem is all they really needed was a fucking calculator

[โ€“] [email protected] 3 points 1 month ago

The fucking problem is they stole my damn calculator and now they're trying to sell me an LLM as a replacement.

LLMs are an interesting if mostly useless toy (an excessively costly one, though; Eliza achieved mostly the same results at a fraction of the cost).
The massive scam bubble that's been built around them, however, and its absurd contribution to enshittification and global warming, is downright monstrous, and makes anyone defending commercial LLMs worthy of the utmost contempt, just like those who defended cryptocurrencies before LLMs became the latest fad.
