LLMs are just that - Ms, that is to say, models. And trite as it is to say - “all models are wrong, some models are useful”. We certainly shouldn’t expect LLMs to do things that they cannot do (i.e. possess knowledge), but it’s clear that they can do other things surprisingly effectively, particularly providing coding support to developers. Whether they do enough to warrant their energy/other costs remains to be seen.
