It's far from useless. Overblown, for sure.

They made an awesome hammer that can solve many hammer-related tasks, but they're selling it like it can also cook, drive and keep the house clean.

Blame the companies, not the math.

    100%. These LLMs are fantastic tools for when you could use an LLM to solve a problem or make something better.

    Using the right tool for the right job is really not a complicated concept.

    The problem, as always, is marketing and hype noise caused by the people who see dollar signs.

    Every time I hear about these hammer related tasks I find out they kind of suck or drained lake Tahoe to translate a book that already has a hundred translations.

    Or the hammer related task is that one scene from 'oldboy'.
