JFC, people in tech are really out there saying that language models will be better at therapy, financial advice, and career advice than trained people. WTF is wrong with you people? Do you really have no clue about what other people’s jobs actually involve? Language models can’t even do maths how are they supposed to get good at financial advice? And therapy? Just… 😑 What’s wrong with people in tech?
