"The use case for LLMs is spam." Spam email, spam websites, spam news stories, spam books. Nothing anybody wants to read. Software that costs a million dollars a day to produce shit.

@gwynnion I've been an almost daily user of LLMs for over a year and I promise I'm not using them for spam

I use them as a thesaurus, a coding assistant, (weirdly) a brainstorming partner - they are a rubber duck that talks back to me

I think generating text for publication is one of the least interesting applications if the technology, though I get why professional writers tend to assume that's their main use

And maybe it is! They're incredible spam machines for people who want to do that
