Oh another reason for me to dislike telegram. Sigh.

Can’t people just…communicate? Fucking *express yourself* and *use words*. The “have a machine make thoughts for you” is so damn strange to me.

It’s one thing to have an LLM edit a work email and “make it more professional”, it’s another thing entirely to have it reshape messages to friends. It just reeks of dishonesty, laziness, and bad intentions.

I never want people in my life taking this kind of shortcut with me. It’s so damn gross.

@keirFox I don't understand why everyone's being so pushy about LLM features in everything everywhere all the time. Who is asking for these features? Why are we constantly being bullied into using them? Nobody's making any profit of this shit, it's all a huge loss for vaporware that "will one day pay off".

that is exactly why it is being pushed so hard, the LLM companies need people to adopt it or the whole house of cards comes crashing down, and most of the rest of the tech industry is financially invested in them

@keirFox Oh I have, at work... any time I can tell someone responded to me in Teams using 1 of those 2-3 "suggestions" that sometimes pop up, I have this very visceral annoyed reaction, like - they can't even be bothered to RESPOND WITH THEIR OWN SELF?!?!?!

@kzorrofuego I think it’s really problematic for me because I grew up with MUCKs and email in the 90s — communicating through text in those worlds it was encouraged that you be verbose and descriptive! This collided horribly with the early 2000s SMS-speak — I had a boss who would substitute “2” for “too”/“to” in email because “it was faster and the message still got across” which drove me to madness. Now that generation of people is elated to have a machine expand their thoughts and ideas out for them.
