"I'm not again LLMs I just never say anything useful about them and constantly point out how I can't use them." The other guy is right and you just prove his point.

I don't see how that follows because I did point out in another comment that they are very useful if used like search engines or interactive stack overflow or Wikipedia.

LLMs are extremely knowledgeable (as in they "know" a lot) but are completely dumb.

If you want to anthropomorphise it, current LLMs are like a person that read the entire internet, remembered a lot of it, but still is too stupid to win/draw tic tac toe.

So there is value in LLMs, if you use them for their knowledge.
