Not sure what all this is about, I somewhat regret taking a breaking from coding with LLMs to have it explained to me its all a mirage and a secret and sloppy plan for getting me an automagic egirl or something. ;)
The point being made doesn’t impact people who can find utility from LLM output.
It’s only when you need to apply it to domains outside of code, or a domain where it needs to actually reason, that it becomes an issue.
What does actually reason mean? It's doing this complex anesthesiologist x crna x resident surgery scheduling thingy for ~60 surgeries a day for this one client. Looked a lot like LSAT logic games stuff scaled up to me, took me almost 20-30m to hand check. Is that reasoning?
Right? Oh this fairly novel solution the the problem I was having that works and is well tested. Oh throw it away.. sorry the model can't think of stuff..
Back to square one!!
Can you please share a few sessions ? I want to get a better sense of what people have achieved with generic LLMs that is novel. (Emphasis on "generic", I think I can more readily imagine how specialized models for protein folding can lead to innovation)
