TBH, they produce trash results for almost any question I might want to ask them. This is consistently the case. I must use them differently than other people.
LLMs produce midwit answers. If you are an expert in your domain, the results are kind of what you would expect for someone who isn’t an expert. That is occasionally useful but if I wanted a mediocre solution in software I’d use the average library. No LLM I have ever used has delivered an expert answer in software. And that is where all the value is.
I worked in AI for a long time, I like the idea. But LLMs are seemingly incapable of replacing anything of value currently.
The elephant in the room is that there is no training data for the valuable skills. If you have to rely on training data to be useful, LLMs will be of limited use.
