@talon Also this "tool" will go away the next hype cycle comes around. Obviously, machine learning and the general tech will not go away. Machine learning will continue to advance but I do think after the bubble bursts we will see a lot more local and even specialized local LLMs. It is not here to stay, because investors won't allow it to stay. The above posts buys into the hype, unfortunately, otherwise I would have boosted it. I do use an LLM because I just can't get away from it, honestly, like in the Be My Eyes app and similar, but 2 truths can be in one's head at the same time. To the original poster, it is a complete accident an LLM just happens to make things more accessible, which is unfortunately why Enshittification will hit the most marginalized users the hardest when the tech starts to rot, which is already happening.

Technology is not inevitable. We've decided not to have asbestos in our walls, lead in our pipes, or carginogenic chemicals in our food. (If you're going to argue that it's not everywhere, where would you rather live?) We could just not do LLMs. It's allowed.
