Yet another opinion on LLMs · Hasufell's blog

I think you are largely underestimating the power of these tools. The problem is IMHO the aggressive marketing that sells them as magic wands that solve all the problems instantly. You give it a prompt, it does stuff. The truth is, if you want to get useful results you need to sweat. These are tools that require training and experience, just like any other tool. Whether using them is a good idea is another discussion. But in my experience you won’t get satisfactory results until you are good enough with LLM’s. Which can take a long time. These tools (especially the most advanced models) can be incredibly helpful, not just for mechanical tasks. They can also help with reasoning, find subtle bugs, analyze data to spot patterns and correlations, brainstorm… Your post dismisses all these capabilities a little too hastily.
