Lol Neil Gaiman says

"ChatGPT doesn't give you information. It gives you information-shaped sentences."

This is one of the better ones I have seen.

@shafik
AI and ChatGPT are in their infancy. Think of AI as in alpha testing. Not ready for prime time. It will get better. Much better. In the meantime don't trust it except in specialized cases.

@mintyfresh lots of "heavy lifting" here

"infancy", this field has been growing since the 50s. We have iterated over many major techniques LLMs being the most recent but ML and deep learning was the previous two "big deals". Great stuff but decades in the making still.

LLMs flaws won't be fixed quickly. The breakthroughs are mostly measured in terms of decades not years. For "practical" purposes that is an eternity.

Folks will find lots of "useful" ways to use LLMs, won't live up to the hype.
