This post must have been written long ago. But late is better than never. right? Every time a new technology with some noise gets light of the day, a hype and an anti hype happens. Both which turn out to be quite wrong or very inaccurate about reality of the new tech. Decades ago, the same situation existed for Linux(the kernel), the Web/Internet, Machine Learning(and particularly Neural Networks) among other things. If we fast forward to few years ago, there are Rust, Go and “Cloud” and “Smart” devices(such as WiFi or Bluetooth enabled). Every device must be WiFi enabled!
I’ve written a post about what most people get wrong about LLMs. Unfortunately, so many people in the FOSS community put a blanket ban on them and make them a taboo. And so many people think LLMs can do any programming job. I strongly believe both are wrong.
