abadidearefusing to use LLMs: not purity culture
wanting to disenfranchise and dehumanize everyone who’s ever used an LLM for any reason: yes purity culture, jesus christ you’re one missed coffee from doing a terrorism
mjdxp@0xabad1dea LLMs can be genuinely useful sometimes, mainly because all search engines have become nothing but SEO garbage where most of the top results don't actually answer your question. you do need to be able to question if the information is actually correct though. it's also usually not worth accelerating the death of the planet for, but i guess that's just something we gotta deal with so billionaires can keep their investors happy (god i hate society)
Ryan1729@mjdxp @0xabad1dea SEO garbage is a real problem, but I don't think something that is capable of making up plausible sounding text, that is disconnected from reality, is the best solution.
I'd much prefer something that only ever surfaced text that has a known, live source I can check, both to be sure it is actually there, and to check the surrounding context.
Feels like LLMs are crowding out better solutions to some problems.
