Okay but what about the fact all of this is useless bullshit that will only make the world worse?

It’s far from useless. Overblown, for sure.
They made an awesome hammer that can solve many hammer-related tasks, but they’re selling it like it can also cook, drive and keep the house clean.
Blame the companies, not the math.

100%. These LLMs are fantastic tools for when you could use an LLM to solve a problem or make something better.
Using the right tool for the right job is really not a complicated concept.
The problem, as always, is marketing and hype noise caused by the people who see dollar signs.
Every time I hear about these hammer related tasks I find out they kind of suck or drained lake Tahoe to translate a book that already has a hundred translations.
Or the hammer related task is that one scene from ’oldboy’.
