    Looks like the person using it have at least some idea of what they are doing

    This is something which I have been saying from a year back, albeit a different form – “I only ask questions to LLMs if I already know the answer”.

    They are not supposed to replace coders, but kind of boost their productivity.

    This usecase is also quite good.

    • It’s not critical; not many people are using QICs
    • It’s not hard, but just boring
    • No existing human solution

        I hoped LLMs would be able to help me learn things at first, like a patient tutor I can ask all my stupid questions and it’ll never get annoyed with me

        It can do that for school level stuff because that material is present in it’s input dataset in a redundant manner. For anything niche or domain-specific, it will hallucinate or fail.

        I believe that when the bubble bursts, education will be one genuine usecase for LLMs.

          I believe that when the bubble bursts, education will be one genuine usecase for LLMs.

          When the bubble bursts, what will survive is what makes money. Education doesn’t make money unless it’s in the national interest.
