I have difficulty being optimistic about LLMs because they don’t benefit my work now, and I don’t see a way that they enhance our humanity. They’re explicitly pitched as something that should eat all sorts of jobs.

The problem isn’t the LLMs per se, it’s what we want to do with them. And, being human, it becomes difficult to separate the two.

Also, they seem to attract people who get real aggressive about defending them and seem to attach part of their identity onto them, which is weird.
