LLMs are undeniably remarkable, but their wheels start to fall off once you go beyond the basics and a few party tricks. The cynical part of me thinks this tracks pretty well with our society's tendency to favor appearance over substance. Yet, if my burger order gets messed up, I don't fault the restaurant; however, if an LLM messes up my order, the same cannot be said. As a seasoned human, I feel confident saying that we humans love blaming other humans, whether it's justified or not.
So while I initially thought customer-facing roles would be front and center in the "AI revolution." Today, I tend to think they'll be bringing up the rear, with entertainment/smut applications at the forefront along with a few unexpected applications where LLMs operate behind the scenes.
Even smut seems to be having a pretty slow take off, I had a go of an AI porn generator for fun recently, it was nightmare fuel. I know it's "almost right and it will get better" but not being "there" yet just isn't good enough when it comes to accurately depicting penetration.
