If we treated them respectfully but without corporate hype (that aims to layoff half the world) The original post shows why verifying direct quoting and details are going to be so important in the next 20 years. And we are going to need a legion of not fact checkers but detail checkers.

This gets at why I dislike LLM hype. It’s not that they’re entirely wrong but they aren’t detail oriented. they’re built for readers who skim (or writers). and their code is fine but if you have to return to the code, it degrades very fast, notably once an error happens. I’d be a lot happier…
