alt Hacker NewsYou seem to be winking a little bit and I’m not sure exactly what you’re trying to say, but I agree with the one you are replying to: the author of this article wrote a lot of words - like a lot a lot of words - only to look very foolish a short time later. And I think much ink was similarly spilled writing very similar piece smirking at people who thought LLMs could do real intellectual work. And they were all wrong.
It is absolutely the case that some things people wrote about AI and LLMs in the past is no longer true; it's a fast-changing area.
It's also the case that some things remain true. If someone says "don't use them for X because their quality isn't good enough", that's a recommendation with an expiration date. But if someone says "don't use them for X" for any number of other good reasons, that recommendation is often timeless.
"Can it" is changing rapidly. Much more rapidly than "Should it".
