I still have to hear just one (1) actually compelling use case for LLMs as advertised (short prompt that yields longer text).

@thomasfuchs why only produce? Why not parsing? -

Weirdly there seem to be dozens or even hundreds of ways to use them to scam, cheat, lie, spam and exploit.

@AppleAmps or just use a thesaurus, which is where ChatGPT stole the data from (also not what I mean with “generate longer text from short prompts”)

@thomasfuchs
English is my second language and sometimes words get really stuck on the tip of my tongue, so being able to load ChatGPT and ask "what's a word that's like 'brash' but nice and old" and having it spit out what I'm looking for is great. -

@thomasfuchs the only use I have found for it so far is to generate a one or two sentence commit message when merging code. I find the succinct response actually quite easy on my brain.

@sbank yeah, summarization of text is not surprisingly actually often relatively passable; I’m not talking about that however

@madopal @darrel_miller @AppleAmps I've literally stopped using Google Search for almost everything (mainly using it to search on specific domains now) because I just can't trust the results anymore; which is the fault of both Google (how it weighs and presents results) and SEO spammers.

@darrel_miller @thomasfuchs @AppleAmps Also, a search engine helps you "search." Just because Google/etc allow it to take questions as search terms doesn't mean everyone uses them. To the point of synonyms, if I search for a thesaurus, then I can look it up myself. If the thesaurus is wrong, then yeah, I'd definitely stop using it.

@darrel_miller @thomasfuchs @AppleAmps Search engines naturally say "check out this set of results," so I'm always investigating. Chat GPT says "this is the answer" with no context, so the results are handled completely differently.

@madopal @thomasfuchs @AppleAmps Did you stop using search engines because sometimes they return bad results?

@AppleAmps @thomasfuchs You'll do that until the word it gives you is wrong, and then you won't be able to trust it.
