I don’t know what thinking profile your friend was using but asking ChatGPT that with the mixed tasks profile showed an almost immediate result with absolutely no thinking required.
LLM’s are a tool, like with any tool there is a learning curve, and in my opinion the majority of “AI” users are unable to use the tool properly, and then get mad at the tool. Or like you, want to disparage the use of an LLM so they bait the LLM with tasks that it knows will fail or hallucinate on. To me that’s like blaming the table saw because it cut off your finger. Do the majority of people need a paid account? No.
Are there people working in the Tech sector who use an LLM everyday, who have corporate accounts and paid accounts at home for their own projects: absolutely. I know a large number of them, most are Lemmy users as well. But because there is so much negativity from the open source crowd, all these engineers are afraid to discuss all the ways it makes our lives easier. So we get a disproportionate amount of negativity. I’m getting to a point where the amount of AI shit posting on here is like the amount of vegan shit posting on Reddit. And just as stupid.
