Absolutely -- there is a whole cottage industry of people who know that LLMs are big news and decide to chime in, without ever considering that maybe this is a scientific discussion, not a cultural/"take-driven" one. Bluesky in particular is probably their biggest source of income!
You can spot them easily, because instead of critiquing some specific thing and sticking to it, they can't resist throwing in "obviously, LLMs are all 100% useless and anyone who says otherwise is a Tech Bro" somewhere. Like:
completely unknown processes that have no parallel in the biological world.
c'mon... Anyone who knows a tiny bit about ML knows that both of those claims are just absurdly off base.
