There are a lot of critiques of LLMs that I agree with but "they suck and aren't useful" doesn't really hold water.
I understand people not using them because of social, economic, and environmental concerns. And I also understand people using them because they can be very useful.
Thoughts?

people are currently using LLMs to better think through decisions, consolidate their advantages, and push ahead of those that don't--and this gap will increase over time
facility with LLMs now is going to pay dividends over time
