@a @infobeautiful I feel like too many people (both critics and "AGI is close" grifters) focus on LLMs as problem solvers or knowledge bases/engines.
They are not!
They are natural language models, able to "understand" (put in quotes, as I don't think they truly understand, just are advanced translation models) human inputs and translate them to code, queries - and run and translate them back.
This makes them incredibly useful in practice, even if it's not (might never be?) some "magic AGI".
