Well yes, neural networks are very good for pattern recognitions and data categorization tasks. Also for speech synthesis. I wasn't saying that this is a bad application of AI. I was talking about generative AI and LLMs specifically, the kind that takes prompt strings and spits out text/image/audio/whatever.

Maybe if we manage to run LLMs locally, we can put one into a keyboard app and finally have a Russian touchscreen keyboard that doesn't make me want to yeet my phone at a wall for repeatedly failing to type the word in the correct grammatical form when I use gesture input. But somehow we aren't there yet. I guess ChatGPT is more important.
