I think it would be infinitely better for an LLM to walk a user through the use of the formula in their specific use case rather than do it for them The one time I used it (via the Microsoft 365 Copilot), that's exactly what it did. It only created the table in the spreadsheet that I wanted and then explained how to do the formula, explained the bits and bobs of the formula, showed me the code and told me where to put it. Sure, if I was lazy, I'd just copy-paste without thinking, but the information was there. but that won’t sell as well because most people don’t want to learn to use a spreadsheet they just want to do a thing and move on to something else (...) with an asterisk and fine print stating that it’s for entertainment purposes only and that whoever isn’t liable for any false information At the same time, you could be arguing that calculators should be teaching people how to do maths, instead of just giving them the result, right? It's actually a bit similar to LLMs, because, well, if you don't know how maths and calculators work, you can get a result that's horribly wrong (try 3+2*3 on any simple calculator and you'll get 15). I just had my place of work upgrade me to Windows 11 this week (...) I was directed by Microsoft to download the “Office 365 Copilot” app which downloaded the office installer So, first of all, it sucks that your IT didn't have the tools to handle this for you in the first place. Secondly - that's just Microsoft being Microsoft. They love changing names and making things as confusing as possible. Although now Copilot is part of that app, when they originally introduced the new name, it was just a rebranded Microsoft 365 App. We were joking that it was done by some middle manager so he could boast that "100% of Office users now utilise Copilot". Last time I tried to use it I was given hallucinated nonexistant python modules and powershell commands that wasted my time I haven't yet seen an LLM that didn't invent PowerShell modules, although recently Copilot's been pretty good.

No. They're just providing statistically probable answers based on the information in their training models. Ask, "what size bolt do I need for the spinner in a 2012 Maytag dishwasher model ABC123?". It probably has the dishwasher manual in its training model, maybe even content from Maytag customer forums where multiple people asked this exact question, and so has a high probability of generating a correct answer. Ask it something more controversial or unique, where answers on similar questions are varied or rare, it will be less likely to generate an accurate answer because it has less data to pull from. They also "hallucinate", or generate answers that are entirely false and not directly written anywhere else. Like there have been a number of lawyers caught using an LLM to write their legal briefs, because the LLM reference sources that don't actually exist; it just made up Adam v Bob type case names.

exactly what i am talking about. age restriction at the physical store kept you away for a while, while not forcing an alternative/underground market. however, if you knew the only way to get it is on an alternative store - you would immediately have looked there.

Boss makes a dollar, I make a dime. That's why I poop on company time.

You want abliterated models, not distilled.

Woah in 2 years, that will be definitly not be forgotten until then....

In fact Daggerfall was almost nothing but quests and other content like that.
