The utility, cost and the complexity of training and operating language models is grossly exagerrated, in order for liars to raise valuations into trillions. As deepseek showed, even a moderate amount of optimization reduces the costs by orders of magnitude.
It is already feasible to run these locally, and very soon it will be cheap to do so.

I think as of now, based on my own experience, AI is good for a few tasks, doing real research is not one of them. It is especially dangerous if you use AI to break in to a new knowledge domain you have little experience before. You will get syntactically correct paragraphs dosed with hallucination.
I hope for a fallout game with unlimited AI generated map and storyline, dreaming up this kind of over the top fantasy world is ideal for the current generation of hallucination ridden LLM.

I personally wouldn't touch LLM Ai stuff with a 10 foot pole now, it used to seem cool to me, now, it's being used to spam garbage to the main internet. (I'm also a little annoyed that ai bros use llm image generators to send videos of dead people doing random stuff to loved ones, Zelda Williams for example. But that's a different story) I also delete Google Gemini off of my phone too, and I find the ads for Google Gemini pretty insulting to the highest degree as well too. But I'll stop being a debby downer.

My professional experience with Gemini, the soulless LLM, not the protocol. — I do science type stuff. It's a living, for now at least. My employer encourages us to make use of Google Gemini. So I've been playing around with it. Here are my experiences: I asked Gemini to summarize journal articles I've written. Gemini gets the basic details wrong and then butchers the conclusions. Maybe that's too esoteric. So I bring up an old data set I've analyzed before and ask it to analyze it for me. I...
