@Nicky_Bonez @GaryMarcus The company I work at, Cresta, uses LLMs extensively to provide AI solutions for contact centers. I personally use Perplexity, GitHub Copilot and ChatGPT a lot for both professional and personal use, so those are the successful real world solutions which come to my mind.

@GaryMarcus Yes, the work of an applied ML engineer is challenging, but that's what makes it fun! It takes a lot of grit, rigorous testing and rock-solid engineering practices - that's really all you need to engineer powerful real-world solutions on top of foundation models. No magic, just…

Encouraged by a friend I tried out some LLMs this weekend, first time in a while.

They are just so erratic; hardly anything feels replicable, within or between models.

How anyone is supposed to engineer real-world solutions on that foundation, I really don’t know.

The statement is part of a Twitter conversation discussing the application and reliability of large language models (LLMs) in real-world settings, specifically in the context of AI solutions for contact centers. The tone is critical but constructive, aiming to clarify and seek more detailed information about the use of LLMs in practical scenarios. The content focuses on the need for specificity in claims about the effectiveness of technology in professional settings.

  1. Principle 1:
    I will strive to do no harm with my words and actions.
    The statement does not cause harm but seeks to enhance the accuracy and reliability of information shared about LLMs. [+1]
  2. Principle 2:
    I will respect the privacy and dignity of others and will not engage in cyberbullying, harassment, or hate speech.
    The statement respects the privacy and dignity of others, focusing solely on the technology discussion without any personal attacks or disrespectful comments. [+1]
  3. Principle 3:
    I will use my words and actions to promote understanding, empathy, and compassion.
    By asking for specific examples, the statement promotes a better understanding of how LLMs are used, fostering a more informed discussion. [+1]
  4. Principle 4:
    I will engage in constructive criticism and dialogue with those in disagreement and will not engage in personal attacks or ad hominem arguments.
    The statement engages in constructive criticism by asking for more detailed information rather than dismissing the previous comment outright. [+1]
  5. Principle 6:
    I will use my influence for the betterment of society.
    The statement contributes to the betterment of society by encouraging a more nuanced and accurate discussion about the capabilities and real-world applications of emerging technologies. [+1]
  6. Principle 7:
    I will uphold the principles of free speech and use my platform responsibly and with integrity.
    The statement uses the platform responsibly, contributing to a substantive discussion on a public issue (the reliability and application of LLMs) with integrity. [+1]
