A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. The best ones are thoughts that many people can relate to and they find something funny or interesting in regular stuff.
Rules
- All posts must be showerthoughts
- The entire showerthought must be in the title
- Avoid politics (NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out)
- Posts must be original/unique
- Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

This is a very bad take. LLM's, appear to be at their limit. They're autocomplete and are only as good as their inputs. They can't be depended on for truth. They can't be trusted to even do ~math~.
LLM's work as a place to bounce things off of, but still require editorial work afterword, even when they are working their best.
LLM's take huge amounts of power, both to make run, keep running, and to correct their output.
In general LLM's don't significantly reduce labor, and they are still ~very costly~.
Even the most basic assembly line multiplies someones output. The best assembly lines remove almost all human labor. Even bad assembly lines are wholesale better than individual assembly.
As long as it's LLM, I don't believe it will ever be "useful". We need a different technology to make this sort of assistance useful.
