It’s weird that LLM bulls not not directly engage with the criticism, which would characterize as a fairly standard criticism of hallucination. Hallucinations are a problem. I don’t know who Sabine is but I don’t have to.
Same with the top reply from Teortaxes containing zero relevant information, which Twitter in its infinite wisdom has decided is the “most relevant” reply. (The second “most relevant” reply is some ad for some bs crypto newsletter.)
It's weird that you'd guess (wrong) that I'm an "LLM bull", then start generalizing the actions of this supposed group. Hallucinations are a problem, no news value there. Sabine seems not to be able to get value out of LLMs, and concludes that they aren't useful. The logic is not exactly impressive.
It's a tool. It can be useful, it doesn't always work. Some people claim it's better than it is, some people claim it's worse. This isn't exactly rocket science.
Regardless of the tweet in question, Sabine is a grifter. Her novel takes on academia being some kind of conspiracy of people milking the system, and of physicists not being interested in making new discoveries are nonsensical and only serves to increase her own profile. Look at this video of her trying to convince the world she received an email that apparently proves all her points correct. My BS detector tells me she wrote that email herself, but you be the judge: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=shFUDPqVmTg
