LLMs are a good dowsing rod: is your hunch good enough to be worth digging deeper on?

There are lots of questions where even an approximate answer says "yes, keep digging" or "no, don't bother".

Before it was very hard to ask those questions and get approximate answers.

Now, it's quite easy!

You have to remember it's just approximate, no matter how confident it is.

LLMs don't get stuck, they always can come up with a "yes and" on your topic, which means there's always a thread to pull to continue going deeper.

Ask interesting questions to get non-mushy answers that are, if not right, at least thought provoking.
