My critique is "They seem useful, but actually suck". A subtle distinction.
They SEEM very easy to use, so easy in fact that other methods seem hard by comparrison.
SEEMING useful is actually part of why they suck. They trick you into giving up on thinking, searching, finding.
There are a lot of critiques of LLMs that I agree with but "they suck and aren't useful" doesn't really hold water.
I understand people not using them because of social, economic, and environmental concerns. And I also understand people using them because they can be very useful.
Thoughts?
