No to be fair I do see what he's saying. I see a major difference between the more expensive models and the cheaper ones. The cheaper (usually default) ones make mistakes all the damn time. You can be as clear as day with them and they simply don't have the context window or specs to make accurate, well reasoned desicions and it is a bit like having a terrible junior work alongside you, fresh out of university.

It's not unhinged at all, it's a lack of imagination on both of your parts.

The only people who use LLMs "as a tool" are those who are incapable of doing it without using it at all.
