    Yeah, this is why I can’t really take anyone seriously when they say it’ll take over the world. It’s certainly cool, but it’s always going to be limited in usefulness.

    Some areas I can see it being really useful are:

    • generating believable text - scams, placeholder text, and general structure
    • distilling existing information - especially if it can actually cite sources, but even then I’d take it with a grain of salt
    • trolling people/deep fakes

    That’s about it.

      LLM generated scams are going to such problem. Quality isn’t even a problem there as they specifically go for people with poor awareness of these scams, and having a bot that responds with reasonable dialogue will make it that much easier for people to buy into it.
