they’re presented as general knowledge chatbots at the very least, and i know i’d consider spelling pretty general knowledge.
the way i see it you can either acknowledge the “strawberry question” as a genuine failing of most every publicly accessible LLM, or you can acknowledge that LLMs are only ever actually correct by pure chance. sometimes it’s a REALLY GOOD chance, but at the end of the day it’s still always a variable that you can’t actually control.
You have someone complaining about what people selling AI say it can do, when it can’t do that. You see people complaining that AI can’t do things, when it can do other things.
You need to try and digest what people are saying better rather than just being contrarian.

You see a false dichotomy.
I see someone pounding away at a ball of yarn with a hammer and complaining that it’s not as good a knitting implement as they imagined.

in this thread i’ve only seen complaints about the implementation, no one has even implied LLM’s are useless.
