    They’re accurate enough for simple questions like “when was Bill Clinton President”? Go ahead and prove me wrong and ask that question to an AI, and show me one that gets it wrong.

      “Accurate” and “accurate enough” have completely different meanings. Calculators are not “accurate enough”, they are accurate, and the idea that you’re conflating the two notions is exactly why LLMs are useless for most things people employ them for.

        I’m not conflating the two notions. I have said that they are not completely accurate, but they are absolutely accurate enough. It is really very clear the experience of those who actually use AI, vs those who just regurgitate sensationalized headlines. If you think AI is literally “useless”, then you are not living in reality.

          You are indeed conflating the two ideas, and I said “useless for most things they’re utilized for”, but if you quoted the entire sentence your argument would fall apart and you realized that.
