| > Anyways.. if my Doctor is using an LLM, then I don't need them anymore, and the concept of a hospital is now meaningless. Let's test out this "if A then B therefore C" on a few other scenarios: - If your lawyer is using a paralegal, you don't need your lawyer any more, and the concept of a law firm is now meaningless. - If your home's contractor is using a day laborer, you don't need your contractor any more, and the concept of a construction company is meaningless. - If your market is using a cashier, you don't need the manager any more, and the concept of a supermarket is meaningless. It seems none of these make much sense. As long as we've had vocations, we've had apprentices to masters of craft, and assistants to directors of work. That's "all" an LLM is: a secretary pool speed typist with an autodidact's memory and the domain wisdom of an intern. The part of this that's super valuable is the lateral thinking connections through context, as the LLM has read more than any master of any domain, and can surface ideas and connections the expert may not have been exposed to. As an expert, however, they can guide the LLM's output, iterating with it as they would their assistant, until the staff work is fit for use. |
