My strong genAI/LLM skepticism is slowly but steadily turning into full on hate the more slop and enshittification I see.

@foosel To me the problem is that people are using it as a *substitute for* work/contribution.

Used for brainstorming, LLM's're brilliant.

There's even a buddhist one, which knows the established-teachings whereas I've only experience-induced-understanding,
& it is the *intersection between the 2* that is the greatest-leverage,
so I find it to be good leverage, for me, when I bother trying the thing..

Mind you, I'm entirely capable of calling "traditional"/established teachings outright-wrong, when they contradict the actual-experiencing, but tradition-ists won't tolerate that to be true, obviously ( so, they have already declared me to be nonvalid/defective in buddhism/awake-soul-ism )

Consider this:

Young people who are brought-up, educated, then put into a job-desert..

they join an MLM?

they try using LLM's to fake significance & be paid "influencers"?

the MLM one was from last-century, wasn't it?

It's still as dishonest as it was back then.

The problem isn't that LLM's exist, it is that they're being used to *displace* meaning, including meaningful contribution/work,
& that problem was already a problem last-century.

All the fake civilization we've made that the next-generation ( yours, your children's, etc, not mine ) are imprisonned-in, the responsibility is on all of us, us who *accommodated* the fakening of our world..

Is the ripping-out of nature to put-in saleable-appearances "less" fake?

Is replacing Nature with McMansions somehow "less" fake?

Ask the working-class if making them redundant with robots, & just giving *their entire class* the economic-middle-finger is somehow "honest"..

Is suburbia authentic?

We're *noticing* some kinds, but not others, is 1 thing this is getting-at, is all..

& what we've habitually been ignoring, for a century, at-least, is that mass-illusions are *not* valid substitute for honest-world-for-children-to-be-growing-up-in..

Sorry, but the "AI/LLM is just the modern equivalent to MLM's" thing is something that more need to be understanding.. which is what promted me to bother you with a reply..

Incorrect-values-systems rigged into world-controlling-leverage isn't a "new" problem..

Political-rule has been doing that since before Socrates, & he's even older than me!
