LLMs Flip the Script

Versatile but Shallow
- LLMs provide quasi-expert knowledge across various domains, making them versatile yet fallible.
- Organizations already concentrate expertise, making LLMs less impactful than for individuals lacking diverse skills.
Organizational Complexity
- Organizational complexity, with integrations and security protocols, hinders rapid LLM adoption.
- LLM hallucinations pose higher risks for organizations than for individuals experimenting with the technology.
