We're not talking about sharp rocks.

We're talking about LLMs that you can talk to, and which for the most part respond more intelligently than perhaps 90% of HN users (or 90% of people anywhere).

I've talked to them; they aren't that impressive. Decent search engines (assuming they provide links), though. The part where their context windows get muddied and they switch tones and behave weirdly is pretty telling. I've never experienced that in 90% people on the internet.
