alt Hacker NewsI know public opinion polling supports that, but the parts of my social circle which are outside of tech seem to be, at worst, apathetic (and at best enthusiastic, though that's not a big fraction).
That said, I think it's a good thing that this sentiment is coming to the forefront.
I was actually surprised to hear my brother-in-law deride LLMs as being useless for areas he has expertise in when I visited for the 4th of July.
He was complaining that he would ask how to perform a certain repair on a car, and the LLMs he tried (ChatGPT & Grok) would give him a long involved process and he'd ask why not do it this simpler way and it would say, oh you're right! He just found it gave bad advice and realized (rightly) that in areas he has less expertise in he has no way to judge how good the outputs are.
This is from a guy who loves tech, historically worshipped Elon, loves his Tesla, and (rightfully again) didn't buy into SpaceX because he thought it was overvalued.
In the past when I visited for holidays he was liable to have a positive outlook on LLMs and their utility. Seems telling that he's starting to see the cracks.
