LLMs exist to crush labour. That's not even my surmise, the people paying billions of dollars to fund this stuff are extremely open and explicit that this is their goal.

There are no ethical use cases for LLMs at this point in time. Maybe when the bubble has popped thoroughly. Not before.

EDIT: I should have expected this post would attract the deliberately obtuse shills, but my goodness

@davidgerard The crutch that will keep the scam going, though, is the unfortunate detail of LLMs being good enough to _keep faking it_ in many professions. And the need to do that (and even pay for such tools) is fuelled in part by cognitive & neurological impairment due to mass #CoVID infections: https://www.panaccindex.info/i/159257225/cognitive-and-neurological-impairment-brain

cc @Zitron whose rants about the #GenAI industry bubble are spot-on in almost all aspects, except for this medical angle. Brain-damaged market stays irrational for even longer.

@gittaca @davidgerard @Zitron I'm consistently getting into pissing matches with "vibe coders". I flat out tell them their shit is garbage. "Well, that's what the LLM said". Okay, well my 4 year CompSci degree says it's garbage. Try again. I'm seriously looking at a lucrative career in fixing all the shit vibe coding crap that people think is "good enough"
@StompyRobot That's some %age as well, surely. But then again, is it more likely that such "performers" would have clearled the interview bar, or that their performance dropped afterwards (due to something)?

Anec-data: Among my colleagues, some of the heaviest GenAI useres are those who were open about either their severe Covid or the neurological problems they developed afterwards :-(

@gittaca @davidgerard @Zitron the fact that anybody is taking "AI" in medical the least bit seriously, tells you just how far beyond redemption any of those people are.

Even if I do keep joking about it being the eternal 2021, Watson was a very high profile failure of catastrophic proportions. One that nearly killed people, repeatedly.
