> There’s a flipside to this too: a lot of better informed people have sworn off LLMs entirely because they can’t see how anyone could benefit from a tool with so many flaws. The key skill in getting the most out of LLMs is learning to work with tech that is both inherently unreliable and incredibly powerful at the same time. This is a decidedly non-obvious skill to acquire!

I wish the author qualified this more. How does one develop that skill?

What makes LLMs so powerful on a day to day basis without a large RAG system around it?

Personally, I try LLMs every now and then, but haven’t seen any indication of their usefulness for my day to day outside of being a smarter auto complete.
