> If LLMs do actually deliver very real, tangible benefits then can you say there is really a trick?

Yes, yes you can. As I’ve mentioned elsewhere on this thread:

> When a con man sells you a cheap watch for an high price, what you get is still useful—a watch that tells the time—but you were also still conned, because what you paid for is not what was advertised. You overpaid because you were tricked about what you were buying.

LLMs are being sold as miracle technology that does way more than it actually can.
