>I'm sure that these AI tools will have some use, but these language models don't know anything
we're still in the early days of LLMs, this is like making a statement on the potential of social networks in the Usenet era. My guess is we'll see specialized tools of all kinds with LLMs integrated in some fashion, it won't be just giving a kid access to a general LLM model
there are already companies that are able to eliminate LLM hallucinations by giving it access to ground truth facts it needs to conform its answers to. Similar things will be done for education type stuff and other use cases as well
That's a great comparison, because social networks have been, on the whole, bad for people. Early evidence suggests LLMs have high potential to be similarly negative in their impact if they're just unleashed willy-nilly the way everyone is trying to integrate them into everything.

FWIW, we didn't try to use Usenet (or social media) to replace teachers. And we still don't today, even though they've matured (for... some meaning of the word) significantly.
