As an engineer, the current state of LLMs is just uninteresting. They basically made a magical box that may or may not do what you want if you manage to convince it to, and fair chance it'll spout out bullshit. This is like the opposite of engineering.

In my opinion, they're extremely interesting... for about a week. After that, you realise the limitations and good-old-fashioned algorithms and software that has some semblance of reliability start to look quite attractive.
