> I've recently started thinking that LLMs would be fantastic at being the interface between humans and computers

Join the club :) I'd say that's a pretty mainstream idea right now.

Exciting nonetheless

Yeah, I guess it is pretty mainstream :) Though another view I keep hearing is that LLMs are going to replace all jobs in 5 years, which quite frankly is disconnected from reality. Even assuming that we could create a ML model that could replace a human (which I think the current paradigm is insufficient after this[0] discussion), there's still the matter of building data centers, manufacturing chips, and it would need to be cheaper than paying a human.

I personally would like AI to help humans be better humans, not try to replace humans. Instead of using AI to create less understanding with black box processes, I'd rather it help us with introspection and search (I think embeddings[1] is still a pretty killer feature that I haven't heard much noise about yet).
