Seriously can’t agree more. Whatever small utility LLMs offer (I haven’t used them in my day-to-day work at all because a regular search works for me just fine, and I can create my own images), it’s not worth the incredible amount of resources used to perform a single query. Maybe if we had fusion energy and there were no environmental implications to further researching the theoretical limits of LLMs their use could be justified–but we don’t, there are, so it can’t.
