In my view, this is the exact right approach. LLMs aren't going anywhere, these tools are here to stay. The only question is how they will be developed going forward, and who controls them. Boycotting AI is a really naive idea that's just a way for people to signal group membership.

Saying I hate AI and I'm not going to use it is really trending and makes people feel like they're doing something meaningful, but it's just another version of trying to vote the problem away. It doesn't work. The real solution is to roll up the sleeves and built an a version of this technology that's open, transparent, and community driven.

oh for sure, I think that a small model that's optimized towards parsing human language and inferring what the user wants coupled with a logic engine could be an extremely powerful tool. Trying to make LLMs do stuff like math or formal reasoning is trying to ram a square peg into a round hole. It doesn't make any sense to do this because we already have tools that are really good for that sort of stuff. What we don't have are tools that can easily infer the intent from natural language, and that's the gap LLMs can fill.
