I mean he's not wrong.

Edit: it seems the joke that LLMs just take other people's data and regurgitates it in another format went over everyone's head 🥺

Using LLM for format conversion is like taking a picture of an electronic document, taking the card out of the camera and plugging it into a computer, printing the screenshots, taking those prints to a scanner with OCR, turning the result into an audio recording, and then dictating it too an army of 3 million monkeys with typewriters.

Haha considering just how much irrelevant third-party training data you'd be looping into a format conversion, this metaphor really is spot-on.
