As far as I can tell, it is hype because it is the hot new toy that they can sell.
LLMs are great for tasks like handling natural language data or classifying and identifying semantic meaning of text, but they are NOT good at math, logic, or as a store of facts/information. I think that they do actually deserve a lot of hype for these specific use cases, because they really accomplish these extraordinarily better than previous/traditional approaches.
The big problem is that they are being used for things that they are not good at, like when people ask a chatbot questions they they expect a factual answer to. They are also surprisingly bad at summarizing text (in my opinion and also this has been shown by some studies) despite companies like Google and Microsoft using them for things like summarizing and present search results. I think these companies are ultimately shooting themselves in the foot when they use LLMs for things that LLMs aren't great for.
Think back to when blockchain was being shoved into everything possible, even places where blockchain makes no sense. And before blockchain, it was cloud
No, but they can easily generate text that is statistically likely to look like a source.
LLMs are a probabilistic model of language, not an information source.
The mirror DOESN'T flip left and right. Imagine an x-axis as a horizontal line across the mirror, a y-axis as a vertical line up/down the mirror, and a z-axis as a line that comes straight out of/into the mirror.
The mirror is actually only flipping that z-axis that comes out of/into the mirror, by reflecting the light back
I was using the pinebook pro ARM laptop with manjaro linux as a semi-daily driver for a while. It is fine for simple tasks and web browsing, but you cannot expect the hardware to be quick or snappy. I had consistent issues with wifi, and eventually I got fed up with the weak performance and switched back to an x86-64 architecture laptop. In terms of software and support, besides the wifi issues, it was fine
Fedora 40 KDE

Hey, we're not hurting anyone!!!

Actually, it is religion which drives that wedge, not science. Science creates no wedges at all and is purely inclusive; the religious people who deny repeatable and verifiable fact-based evidence are willingly excluding themselves, not being wedged away.
Science is waiting and ready to receive any repeatable and verifiable factual evidence that supports religious claims.
EDIT: lol would the downvoters like to explain what they believe is wrong with my comment?
