Original Text
Most of us were amused when DALL-E and its peers went mainstream, and we were quick to point out the obvious flaws.
Then ChatGPT hit the scene and again, many of us dismissed it as a parlor trick that would never amount to much.
Using LLMs for coding initially was a only small step up from basic code completion, and a welcome farewell to Stack Overflow.
I am curious: what was the specific moment that you went from those quaint, dismissive observations to a slightly panicked, "Uh Oh" realization of what these models can do?
