That there is no perfect defense. There is no protection. Being alive means being exposed; it’s the nature of life to be hazardous—it’s the stuff of living.

  • LLM don’t seem suited for things like OCR.

    There is a lot of other edges cases. They don’t work well with math, either explicit or even implied calculations. I’ve had cases where the LLM gave copytext from news releases for a summary figure, instead of actually doing the calculation from the parts provided.

    Another massive failure with LLMs was subtitles editing. It’s still way faster and easier to use a specialized subtitle editing suite. I honestly couldn’t get the LLM to copy the source SRT file “to memory” (to then apply prompts).

    They are marketed as “AI” when they are really just giving plausible output (that can often be very helpful) to a prompt.
