i sort of don't care when the LLM is wrong about things it's not designed for. the functional problem they have is that they're shit at what they are designed to do.

A big part the problem is also how they are marketed... Everyone is pushing AI as though it has the entire wealth of human knowledge inside it, it knows the right answer, and can explain it to you in seconds.

Not, you know, we fed this machine a bunch of words and trained it to spit back out words that look like they fit together.

Lets not lie by omission, they are wildly more expensive while being shit too. 🙂

there are a ton of social, ethical, and environmental problems with them, those problems would exist even if the worked properly. that they don't work properly is the fondant on the shit cake.
