@jmopp @inthehands It drives me crazy. I understand why non-technical people 1) don't understand how LLMs work and 2) have never experienced any other text-based automation interface, and therefore don't understand what can be done trivially and deterministically without an LLM, but when supposedly competent people in tech are like this it's like finding out that a grown-ass adult unironically believes in Santa Claus. And is basing important life decisions on the assumption that Santa Claus is going to bring them a Ferrari.
It has been a very frustrating couple of years. I work in academia, and I've partially been shielded from this, but it has started leaking in at an accelerated rate, to the point where it is negatively affecting my work life almost daily.
