   The funny thing about LLMs is they’re not good for knowledge work because they sometimes make up stuff that doesn’t exist and they’re not good for creative work because they sometimes make up stuff that does exist.

     @dlevenstein I honestly think the only real uses for creative work LLMs will essentially be "inspiration generators," e.g. providing a place to get started, similar to doing a mood board or using an old text prompt list or looking through stock photos etc.

     And IMO that would be defensible, because (as an example) you don't have to credit a photo of say New York or Tokyo for inspiring a sci-fi story set in a large metropolis on a distant star many millennia from now

     Turns out this was a banger of a toot. Do we do soundclouds on #mastodon?
