Yes, and it's incumbent upon us all not to let first impressions run away with us to the extent of making unsupportable claims, even by implication.

I'm sick and tired of the generally dismissive attitude towards these LLMs. They're no messiah, but they're for sure not useless.

I think you must have meant to reply to someone else, since I haven't written off LLMs as useless here or indeed, to the best of my recollection, anywhere.

That said, I suspect dismissive attitudes toward LLMs would be less common if messianic claims on their behalf were likewise.
