People need to realise what LLMs actually are. This is not AI, this is a user interface to a database. Instead of writing SQL queries and then parsing object output, you ask questions in your native language, they get converted into queries and then results from the database are converted back into human speech. That’s it, there’s no AI, there’s no magic.
Sure, if by “database” you mean “tool that takes every cell in every table, calculates their likelihood of those cells appearing near each other, and then discards the data”. Which is a definition of “database” that stretches the word beyond meaning.
Natural language inputs for data retrieval have existed for a very long time. They used to involve retrieving actual data, though.
You understand that even LLM’s boosters would describe it the same way I did, right? I hate the damn thing, they adore it, but we all agree on the facts: it’s not a data retrieval system, it’s a statistical pattern generator.

Try to use ChatGPT in your own application before you talk nonsense, ok?
yeah this isn’t gonna work out, sorry

Cool story, bro. Ignorance is a bliss.
this is an unwise comment, especially here, especially to them
I love coming in and seeing I don’t even need to reply, all y’all are already at it.
every now and then I’m left to wonder what all these drivebys think we do/know/practice (and, I suppose, whether they consider it at all?)
not enough to try find out (in lieu of other datapoints). but the thought occasionally haunts me.
I’m not sure they have theory of mind, TBH.
do read up a little on how the large language models work before coming here to mansplain, would you kindly?
Fuck off with your sexism.
wrong answer.
