[–] Aneb@lemmy.world 12 points 2 months ago (1 child) Stop normalizing LLMs as productivity machines. permalink fedilink source hideshow 1 child comment replies: [–] percent@infosec.pub 3 points 2 months ago* They definitely can be useful as a part of a "productivity machine," for some people. But yeah, they're not the whole solution. An LLM alone is much less useful without harnesses and tools. I suppose one of the difficulties in trying to build a one-size-fits-all thing is that everyone has a different set of use cases and workflows needed for productivity. Each person's own "productivity machine" might be useless for other people. Most people (maybe even most tech-oriented people) just aren't AI-fluent enough to be able to build their own agentic workflows with enough fidelity to actually yield a net-positive effect in productivity. It's not a user-friendly process for the masses (yet). permalink fedilink source parent
