... and neither does the author (or so I believe - I made them both up).
On the other hand, AI is definitely good at creative writing.

A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.

It is possible to despise everything about LLMs from the "podcast bro" types who hype it to the environmental costs to the dangers they represent in actual use.
Very rarely in history are there inventions that have no redeeming qualities whatsoever. LLMs are shaping up to be one of them. Thankfully they're running the hype curve on fast forward and look like they won't actually climb the right side of it. In five years they won't be anything but detritus on the trail of "progress".
Weren't you just telling me that the environmental cost has no impact on your stance?
You mean at the tail end of a thread that opened with me pointing at the environmental costs?
Yeah. That's a good take.
If you're not going to participate in good faith you're going to find yourself talking to the wind a lot.
Exactly! Hence my confusion. If you care about energy costs, then shouldn't saving energy be a good thing? Why would the benefit be 0?
