Like every tool, it has its uses...but they are not those being advertised. LLMs are great for things where mistakes don't detract from the result (or even add to it) like brainstorming, art, music, disinformation...all that good stuff.

Ah, but mistakes could detract from disinformation if it's mistakenly correct!

AI sure is gonna be weird if we preface any question involving dimensions with some dumb arbitrary scale as reference.

Depending on trim and accessories, the 2025 Chevrolet Silverado weighs anywhere from 1454 to 1533 watermelons

I use to be able to ask google the distance in kilometers of anything in space and get an accurate answer. So I first asked this same question in google but it only gave the answer in light years for some reason. That's when I went to bing and got their ridiculous answer.

It's a mess. I just used Google Assistant (not even Gemini) to ask the distance in km and got this -

According to the website Space, the distance is 37.8 trillion km.

I know which one I'm going with but finding out assistant is wrong is a big deal. Lots of people will assume like I did that the info is just pulled from relevant websites. Can't do that now.
