Don't use a microwave to fry a steak then. This is an irritating post and I have plenty of skepticism towards AI. LLMs were always bad at this kind of task, simple to us humans as it may be. This post proves nothing that wasn't known for two years.

However, I do superficially agree with some of the links at the end. LLMs as they have been so far are confirmation machines and it does take skill to use them effectively. Or knowing when not to use them.

Except this microwave is advertised as also for steaks. And sometimes it works, and sometimes you cannot even warm milk in it. It's totally not reliable.

		I do realise LLMs are advertised as God-in-a-pocket (when they are demonstrably not and claiming they represent a bigger step in humanity than harnessing fire is deranged) but I remain hopeful most people on this (VC funded) forum don't fall for those promises.
