    There’s definitely tons of issues surrounding LLMs: how they’re created, what they spit out, and the impact they have. But there’s also use cases that go beyond grammar check imo, but everyone can figure that out for themselves.

    I‘ve mostly given up on complaining about “AI” as a description, that’s just what we’re calling it now even though it never made any sense.

      As LLMs haven’t been able to pass a Turing Test, I can’t quite let the ‘AI’ descriptor go unchallenged. It doesn’t sit right with me; I’m not comfortable with the intentional dishonesty that conflating LLMs with AI. However, I do understand your exhaustion with trying to correct that mistake.

      As for the usage beyond spellchecking and grammar checking; it is up to an individual if they want to make more usage of it despite the ethical, privacy, and security concerns surrounding LLMs. I made my choice due to this, even that makes me feel occasionally uneasy. Making a decision with all the information is far better than falling for the hype surrounding LLMs at the moment.
