Unpopular Opinion
Welcome to the Unpopular Opinion community!
How voting works:
Vote the opposite of the norm.
If you agree that the opinion is unpopular give it an arrow up. If it's something that's widely accepted, give it an arrow down.
Guidelines:
Tag your post, if possible (not required)
- If your post is a "General" unpopular opinion, start the subject with [GENERAL].
- If it is a Lemmy-specific unpopular opinion, start it with [LEMMY].
Rules:
1. NO POLITICS
Politics is everywhere. Let's make this about [general] and [lemmy] - specific topics, and keep politics out of it.
2. Be civil.
Disagreements happen, but that doesn’t provide the right to personally attack others. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Please also refrain from gatekeeping others' opinions.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Shitposts and memes are allowed but...
Only until they prove to be a problem. They can and will be removed at moderator discretion.
5. No trolling.
This shouldn't need an explanation. If your post or comment is made just to get a rise with no real value, it will be removed. You do this too often, you will get a vacation to touch grass, away from this community for 1 or more days. Repeat offenses will result in a perma-ban.
Instance-wide rules always apply. https://legal.lemmy.world/tos/
LLMs real power isn't generating fresh content it's their ability to understand language.
Using one to summarise articles gives incredibly good results.
I use Bing enterprise everyday at work as a programmer. It makes information gathering and learning so much easier.
It's decent at writing code but that's not the main selling point in my opinion.
Plus they are general models to show the capabilities. Once the tech is more advanced you can train models for specific purposes.
It seems obvious an AI that can do creative writing and coding wouldn't be as good at either.
These are generation 0. There'll be a lot of advances coming.
Also LLMs are a very specific type of machine learning and any advances will help the rest of the field. AI is already widely used in many fields.
