Definitely not. The more I use LLMs, the more I realize how error prone and unreliable they are. They’re good for generate flavor text, I would never rely on them for anything critical. Context size and nothing verifying correctness of the output are two big ones where they’ll never replace humans. They’re a useful tool to augment productivity, they’re no where near replacing humans yet.

They definitely have a place in creative work. As an engine not a driver. For example, when writing songs I use them to help me try and rephrase things or find different words to convey what I want. I’ve also used them to give me ideas for variations to explore on game mechanics, or generate sample data with a loose set of parameters, or create some reference material for drawing. But every time I’ve used them they have pretty much never gotten it right the first time. Always there’s revisions, always there’s at least some massaging I have to do on my part to make it coherent. And why wouldn’t there be? If I could write a prompt so precise that it gave me something exact, I would need to already know precisely what I want and maybe wouldn’t even need the AI at all. For creative stuff at least, it has to make some garbage otherwise it’s not really creating enough variation to be useful.
