It's not really about feelings? It's provably, demonstrably wrong a bunch of the time. It's pathologically incapable of saying "I don't know this". Also you're nitpicking, they may have conflated LLMs with AI but so is the article and you clearly knew what OC was talking about.

So you’re just going to throw the creativity aspect of it, or that it is right a good portion of the time?

You’re going to ignore the gigantic demand for AI, and the thousands of people that have a productivity gain from it?

All tools have issues. AI doesn’t have to be the one tool that’s either all or nothing. If you approach it with a neutral angle and try to work with it the right way, I’m sure you’ll benefit from it. Some basic uses are really good:

  • Summarizing text
  • Proposing better or alternative wording
  • Inventing short paragraphs, stories, other similar stuff
  • mimicking a style
  • knowledge and questions about basic and broadly known subjects
  • asking for similar tools or notions
  • speech recognition, and text to speech (still limited)
  • image editing
  • Bug fixing (software recommendations, centralized diagnostics (still limited but faster and easier))
  • quickly getting infos on a subject that are easy to understand (limited, just like searching on internet without taking the time to search more)
  • much more
