What’s an LLM?
Comment on Temperature

I would, but now there’s free LLM’s that can do what I do literally for free and 1000x faster.
Past that, I have no marketable skills that a modern LLM doesn’t also have, and better. I very much doubt I’m alone in this. Between now and say, two to five years tops, my employers will know it too.

large language model, e.g. Bing Copilot or Google Bard

Learned language model- it’s the technical term for things like ChatGPT or bing search. They basically predict what comes next in a form of advanced auto-completion.

I’m in the same boat as you. Nothing I can do can’t be done by an LLM or someone with Google. I fucking hate my job but realistically I won’t find anything better.

We never needed LLMs to do that computationally.

File LLMs under “confidently doing it wrong”. They don’t know anything, they just parrot what was scraped off the internet

Not disagreeing, but what does that help the thousands who will still lose their jobs regardless?

People who know whats good and wont settle for mediocrity are out there. Market to them!

It doesn’t.
Unionize. Individually your power to change things is weak, together your power is strong. The only thing power listens to is a greater power and the reality is that your bosses likely rely on you more than you rely on them.
I guarantee you do have useful skills and that they are better than what an LLM can produce. Don’t listen to the hype that will be used to justify taking your ability to live from you in exchange for higher profits.

Just wait it out … being confidently wrong only works for a limited time until people realize it isn’t working at all … and the point at which people, especially corporate leaders, realize it isn’t working is the point when they start seeing that they aren’t making money any more.

Irrigation, mechanization, computers, internet, web search and now LLMs destroyed jobs but also created new ones, often more qualified and better paid. Why would this suddenly change today? Just learn to use it like you learned to use web search and adapt to the jobs evolutions that are coming from it.

Jokes on you, OP’s job is parroting things that were scraped off the internet!
SkybreakerEngineer@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Yeah, but when I do it it’s funny because it’s a reference

Ah! Modern journalism?

Funnily enough, that’s also what a large portion of people do too, just regurgitate stuff without comprehending its meaning.

That’s literally what people do to get a PhD, they defend their thesis by answering a bunch of questions from professors about it. That’s the point of a PhD.
It has nothing to do with “street smarts” unless the degree is from the “School of Hard Knocks”.

Sorry maybe not phds specifically, but masters and bachelors maybe? Lots of certificates and qualifications require just written tests, no practical testing.

I knew plenty of people that also do just that
