    For a bunch of people disliking AI… you all seem earily ready to jump onto the LLM Websites and test the stuff out. (no hate, just an observation)

      I didn’t go test it. I have never used an LLM and directly block them from my digital experience.

      However I’m not surprised that people would like to verify things like this regardless of their dislike for or distrust of the tech specifically because LLM’S aren’t the only things that lie on the internet.

      Trust but verify is an accepted metric in lots of tech circles.

      I mean, this is a community of people bonded over their common desire to talk about how much they hate AI. Of course they need to understand whatever fresh hell new AI “capabilities” generate so they can shit talk it accurately. 😂

      How are you supposed to dislike something if you don’t understand it?

      It’s not like AI is intrinsically harmful bad or evil. This pursuit of simulated sapience seems to be generating endless numbers of delusional pathologies and harmful externalities but using computational logic to answer questions and scour databases is objectively a wonderful development.

      You may not remember the internet before Google showed us that there was another option beyond simple boolean search, it’s a shame that the owner and inheriter class are willing to sacrifice absolutely everything in the pursuit of a monopoly on labor.

      It’s a government failure, induced by capitalism at the expense of everybody for the benefit of a very small number of people.

      It’s still an adapt or die situation. Just because these LLMS won’t be with us forever (because no matter how many resources you put into them they’ll never be conscious or able to actually tackle novel problems), doesn’t mean you can live in ignorance of them and hope it’ll all blow over.

          Relative to what? Do you know how much water and energy goes into a single bing query? Into leaving your laptop in standby overnight instead of turning it off? Into using your phone whilst you take a shit instead of reading a book or playing with a yo-yo? Do you know how much water and energy goes into electronically paying for a pack of gum with a card? With a phone? With a watch? What about into building your house? Your office? Your car? Your gym? How much is used up by keeping a dog for precisely one year? How much, in total future cost to humanity’s resource consumption, if you have a child?

          No I don’t fucking know, it’s a completely unrealistic standard to hold people to.
