    You’re correct on their limitations. That doesn’t stop corporations from implementing them, sometimes as an extra tool, sometimes as a rash displacement of paid labor, and often without your last step, checking the results they output.

    LLMs are a specialized tool, but CEOs are using it as a hammer where they see nails everywhere, and it has displaced some workers. A few have realized the mistake and backtracked, but they didn’t necessarily put workers back. As per usual anytime there is displacement.

    And for the record, while LLMs are technically under the general AI classification, they are not AI in the sense of what the term AI brings to the mind (AGI). But they have definitely been marketed as such because what started as AI research turned into a money grab that is still going on.

      Yes but the hiring slowdown started well before LLMs became mainstream and the current labor market freeze occurred right after the tariffs were enacted. Currently, it seems to be an excuse for a poor labor market with some hope it just might pay off. However, it every study I’ve seen from MIT and Stanford, it has not materialized anywhere to be more efficient than workers or coming close to displacing people. Most CEOs are not exactly tech experts either.
