Ok, let's have it: what is an unpopular opinion you have about technology today. Let's have some interesting back and forth going on here!

That Large Language Models (LLMs) are prone to making things up is common, even mainstream knowledge now, and a fair source of concern. Considering that (for now at least) LLMs are the dominant kind of AI in use, it might be useful to think of a scenario where this tendency does not get resolved satisfactorily and we have to look at solving it 'outside the AI box'. If it indeed comes to...

'Expertise will become near free..' says Vinod Khosla. If that indeed ends up being the case, then the trust that underlies all transactions and which arguably comes from the 'humanness' of the expert will have to come from somewhere else. Where/what is that somewhere else? Or would what we consider expertise simply move 'up one level'?

(for technical builders) External 'X as a service' tools, especially large ones are created for typical use cases (even if the blurb does not say so explicitly): they are in the end products and thus 'packages of emphasis' and highly opinionated. However, your use case, especially if you are at a startup, is unlikely to be typical. So even if a product promises to 'solve X' for your stack, it...

Or is there something else on the horizon? Symbolic AI maybe?

(For folk who have launched at least once on PH) How was your post launch engagement with the PH community different from what you did before the launch?

Loads of AI tools are gravitating towards chat as the main interface (chat with your files, chat with your knowledge base, chat with your emails etc etc). Is it just because chat is easier to build? Or maybe because this is where expectations are settled for the moment (possibly because of the awareness that ChatGPT generated)? Thoughts?
