    What are the odds that all these stories about LLMs being terrible, and the crappy publicly available ones, are all just to convince us that they suck so nobody notices when actually good AI gets used?

      I remember the very first thing that I have asked ChatGPT.

      It was about a kind of shop, and where is the nearest one to me. It gave me a name and a nice description immediately. When I asked further about details, and the street address etc. it went rather vague. In the end it told me to ask Google for specifics.

      When I checked Google to confirm, it turned out that this shop did not exist. No shop with that name, no similar one… It was all just made up.

        I’m not pretending that the LLMs we get aren’t terrible. Just wondering if there aren’t better AI being used by others more quietly.

          No fear. These people are the opposite of “quiet”. They never invent anything without bragging. Even when it turns out as useless later.

            If you honestly believe that, you’re incredibly naive. If anything, they wouldn’t want to share what they have with those they see as idiots.
