On: Building Effective "Agents"

I've written extensively about myths and misconceptions about LLMs, much of which overlaps with the observations in that post.

Here's my series about misconceptions: https://simonwillison.net/series/llm-misconceptions/

It doesn't seem to me that you're familiar with my work - you seem to be mixing me in with the vast ocean of uncritical LLM boosting content that's out there.

I'm thinking of the system you built to watch videos and parse JSON and the claims of that having a general suitability, which is simply dishonest imo. You seem to be confusing me with someone that hasn't been asking you repeatedly to address these kinds of concerns and the above series are a kind of potemkin set of things that don't intersect with your other work.
