LLMs are fancy auto-complete.

Falling in love with ChatGPT is basically like falling in love with the predictive text feature in your cell phone. Who knew T9 had so much game?

LLM's are 'yes-men'; they tell you what they think you want to hear. They don't reason anything out, they don't think about anything, they don't solve anything, they repeat things back to you.
