There's too much focus on consumer facing products. Where this technology really shines is behind the scened with NLP tasks. Imo, it's a bit of a weird perk I can have a conversation with my NLP.

#22Many people who are doing quite well with LLMs for whom they save many hours per week might not be fully forthcoming about their competitive advantage, especially with the controversy around these tools.
Re: AI products like ChatGPT much hyped but not much used, study says
#23From what I can tell, the biggest proponents of AI in everything are the investors anticipating that people will want AI in everything. I actually enjoy using LLM chat interfaces like ChatGPT directly, and I do benefit from Copilot in VS Code. I just treat it as a fallible entity just like I would a person. I use it as a sounding board or a place to jump-start ideas. What I never use is anything resembling a product-…
I expect top innovations with with llms to be in other areas than bots and chats. There are just so many other things to automate first.

#24Perhaps more abuse than use.
Don't assume people are being honest about their use of ChatGPT...

To your last point, I’d like to point out there’s an adage that goes along the lines of “the market can stay irrational longer than you can stay solvent…”
Very true, which is part of why I don't have any positions on anything myself. But OP had a timeframe of 'until the end of the year'. If I felt strongly about something and had a timeframe like that, I'd place some bets.
But why would you expect someone else to behave like you in this tiny betting niche?

#26I am using ChatGPT every day. It helps me on my engineering tasks since it has a lot of knowledge. It also helps me on coding a lot but there I am using Github's Copilot.
Certainly LLMs made my life way easier and they simplified many tasks that I was procrastinating and considering them huge hurdles on my everyday work and hobbies as well. This greatly improved my productivity and creativity!
Trying to solve an engineering problem sometimes mind stucks in stupid ways to implement them. LLMs helped me to see another way of doing thigs greatly improving my efficiency!
So we have improvement on creativity, productivity and efficiency. What else do we need from LLMs really? I don't understand why people are not using it.

Good question. I guess I don't have any expectation that someone would. I was just stuck by the somewhat aggressive tone and strength of their statement. When people talk so aggressively I prefer to see them putting their money where their mouth is.

#28If you start digging into new topics lets say shaders or art history or whatever .. its hands down the best tool and teacher i ever had. You can get a broad overview over topics and repeat asking „stupid“ questions which are either hard to find on the net or you would not dare to ask anyone. I think these downplaying comments are kind of embarrassing for this kind of achievement in technology.

#29All I want is semantic search. I can make sense of what I find, I don’t want a Transformer to regurgitate slop to me
Right. I think there's value in being able to tell the LLM to give me the result in JSON format, for example. But the hallucinatory nature of LLMs poisons everything.

Yeah, I think I’m still not fully trusting in that pipeline because running it twice could give me different results, even if they’re structured.
