Imagine you’ve only been a programmer for 2 years. Imagine not knowing what imagemagick is. Now get an answer that gets you 99% of the way to where you want to be. Now look at the documentation to see why the parameters aren’t doing what you want them to do. You just saved hours of work.

Yes, GPT and LLMs got to be the most significant leap in the field of AI from 2010s onwards...It kinda "solves" NLP. It is the best human-language-based UI that humanity has every created.

But the point is, this thing does not understand what it's doing...it's become a cliche but the people who coined the term "statistical parrot" really knew what's up.

Like, I think there could be some GOFAI technique that may solve "figuring out how to use a tool like imagemagick/ffmpeg" mathematically, formally and deterministically.

And again, I'm all basing my view on the fact that this "emerging intelligence" is a mirage.
