I have neurons that activate when people try to argue with me using the output of an LLM
it's the same neurons that I used to spend debating fundamentalist christianity with a childhood friend. I'm talking real shit like literal interpretation of noah's ark, young earth creationism, etc, but like arguing for multiple months about it.
I put those neurons away some time ago, I thought they were a waste of time.
...hello, old friends
@andrewrk LLMs have a lot in common with fundamentalist evangelicalism (I used to be "saved"):
1. You must not question holy writ (LLM output).
2. You must not question wealthy and powerful men.
3. Doctrine is individually interpreted but must conform to socially-approved majority views.
4. Any hint of heresy is grounds for shunning.
5. Claude works in mysterious ways.
6. Used to justify bombing the Middle East while unquestionably supporting Israel.
7. Everyone involved is an asshole.
