I studied Artificial Intelligence for four years, and I am not touching LLM AIs with a ten-foot pole.

It's not really about the insane electricity demands, the water usage, tho that's a good reason. It's not even, if I'm honest, about the disastrous effect on the sum of all human art and knowledge.

It's because a) I've studied enough AI to know it's a trick, a sort of linguistic illusion, and b) I've studied enough everything else to understand that I'm not immune to such illusions.

@cjust @Tattie i am not immune to the ai hype though because i find myself often trying to suspiciously ask it questions to see how loose it is and what information its willing to give me and then getting stuck in an infinite cat and mouse game of interrogations from there
