I just wrote a Twitter thread about how LLMs are like chainsaws [0]

In short:

- they are very powerful

- beginners feel like they are just as good as experts

- but they can cause a LOT of damage if you don't know what you are doing

- experts will get way more done and beginners may cut off a limb or drop a tree on their car

People have been making analogies like this since 2023, hardly worth a link to a random twitter thread.
