Wow, the people who get defensive about this are hilarious. I’ve not seen so obvious examples of deep insecurities since I was a teenager.
Imagine being so bad at stuff that using an LLM makes you better.
@david_chisnall My AI assistant says it's not true!
@david_chisnall man, I agree in spirit, but the way you said it was not a good take.
I suspect you were envisioning some airhead CEOs who feels like their LLM granted them a god-mode cheat code with that comment. Screw them.
But, the way I read what you posted at face value, it's punching down.
In the Fedi, we're mostly highly educated people with multiple skills. It's easy to forget how different that is from the regular world. So many of the people I work with are less fortunate than me and they see these LLMs as a performance enhancer because they lack lots of the skills that I take for granted.
And I completely see why it appeals to them, but except for the ones who need it as assistive technology due to a disability, I think it's a misguided path to dependency and we need to get them to understand that.
@sysop408 @david_chisnall The morality and defensibility of LLM and other GenAI usage varies *wildly* depending on the use case, and on exactly how much you want to put the user morally on the hook for the evils of GenAI as a whole and the companies behind it.
There's a pretty massive gap between "assistance for a disability", "finding security bugs", "as a crutch against an increasingly unsustainable capitalistic work culture", "selling GenAI art passed off as real art to unsuspecting buyers", and "romance scamming kids".
@david_chisnall I need to bust on LLM users more often, because some of those replies are cracking me up! 😹
