Classic that the first example is for parsing the goddamn recipe from the goddamn recipe site. Instant thumbs up from me haha, looks like a neat little project.

Another great example of LLM hype train re-inventing something that already existed [1] (and was actually thought out) but making it worse and non-deterministic in the worst ways possible.

Can we stop with the unprovoked dissing of anyone using LLMs for anything? Or at least start your own thread for it. It's an unpleasant, incredibly boring/predictable standard for discourse (more so than the LLMs themselves lol).

It's in fact very provoked. The LLM just changes the instructions of the recipe and creates new ones. That's an unpleasant standard of user experience.

That is a terrible reason to be a dick to someone. Especially someone who has created free software that you have no obligation to use.

When they stop training these LLM on stolen content?

Then go join a thread where someone is actually talking about that issue, which is very valid, and make a meaningful contribution to the conversation. Jumping on people for no reason other than they have touched a language model is just rude.

No you go. It is allowed to diss a thing in the thread about that thing if we think that thing is bad. People here dissed Dropbox when it was launched... and this is no Dropbox.

There are things that are not allowed. But here someone made a good point without any personal attacks. You silencing people is probably the least appropriate thing in this thread.

> make a meaningful contribution

What was not a meaningful contribution, mentioning the relevant schema? Saying using the LLM is bad for example because it is trained on our content without permission and payment? or that this steals from people who provide you content for free and make money from ads?

I'm not interested in continuing this conversation.

I wish you didn't start it... I see it's you who posted the top level comment but it doesn't mean you "own" the thread.
