I will never understand these "as long as the output is the same, what does it matter??" takes. Bizarre and anti-human nihilistic crap.

Human interactions are about empathy and communication. Ability to make fluent words doesn't, on its own, demonstrate empathy or communication, and humans can tell the difference. #AI

@sunset I remember hearing about an eating disorder crisis line (or something like that) using it, and it made me so sad.. you already feel dehumanized and as if no one gets it as is when you have those sorts of problems.. so to then be responded to by something that isn't even human, that furthermore apparently ended up triggering some in need, is awful. It is as if some don't realize that more important than the words said is the understanding person behind them.

@ElusivePurple Right - the words are just a side effect, it's the empathy and understanding that matter.

Same goes for all the stupid "LLMs will replace teachers" and "LLMs will replace doctors" hot takes.
