That’s the only use I have for LLM-AI.

LLMs can be useful programming tools. Not an AGI. Not capable of actual understanding. No comment on the economics.

Compared to the ridiculous claims made by the big vendors and being lapped up by industry, that seems OK to me.

If I'm interested in the product I'll keep listening. Works for me and I'm happy that SN is available to me.

Those 7–8 minute ad-reads just kill me.
