LLMs are useful for a great deal of things, particularly offline translation without having to send data to Google's servers. Sometimes I want to send a long message to friends and family but don't want to write it in English, Polish, and Hindi.

But who thought using it for news headlines was a good idea?! Given the tens of thousands of news headlines published daily, some of them are statistically guaranteed to be falsely presented by AI.

E: not sure whether people are downvoting because they want Google to have their data, they don't want people from different cultures talking to one another, or because they want AI-altered news stories.

What are the odds that all these stories about LLMs being terrible, and the crappy publicly available ones, are all just to convince us that they suck so nobody notices when actually good AI gets used?
