    They’re extremely helpful, just not at a professional level. They can help a student proof read an essay or a content creator come up with a script, but they can’t help you code an app from scratch or give you a medical diagnosis.

      Didn’t say they’re 100% useless. They’re just 90% useless to me and 10% super helpful. Surely depends on what you actually want from them. But I couldn’t think of one area where i might seriously consider dishing 30 bucks a month out for an LLM. Except I’d do tons of translations every day or your proofreading. But for that, the free tiers would already be enough.

        I don’t necessarily disagree with you here, I also think that no generative LLM is worth paying for, let alone a subscription with such a ridiculous price. However, I can still at least understand the appeal for a certain niche subset of people who constantly do the few stuff that a generative LLM like chatgpt excels at.

          Yeah sure, i can understand that too of course. But…except for image- or videogeneration, what good would a subscription do? they’re all still free to hook us up. and the paid models don’t deliver the promise of intelligence either.
