    It’s not that we aren’t impressed. It is impressive. It’s just not useful. Certainly not useful enough to be crammed into every piece of software and platform in existence.

      In some fields, General Purpose LLMs are useful;

      • Marketting copy that no one reads.
      • Business reports that push an agenda for political reasons.
      • Political analysis that puts an agenda for political reasons.

      That is why they are being adopted wholesale by certain companies; marketeers and analysts for lobbying groups and political movements.

      So yes, they are useless for any legitimate case, but are useful for justification of lies to certain gullible individuals (consumers and politicians).

      That said, the fact that Deloitte was forced to (partially) pay the Australian Government back for a report that was all AI Dross is enheartening. The fact that it was only a partial refund and the company is not being prosecuted for Fraud is disenheartening.
