  • This is exactly how I view LLMs and have used them before.

    These people in these scenarios aren’t going ‘Amazon buy my gf a gift she likes.’

    They’re going, please write a letter to my professor thanking them for their help and all they’ve done for me in biology.

    I don’t know of anyone who trusts AI enough to just carte blanche fire off emails immediately after getting prompts back either.

    The fear and cheapening of AI is the same fear and cheapening as every other advancement in technology.

    • It’s not a a real conversation unless you talk face to face like a man say it in a group write it on parchment and ink pen and paper typewriter telegram phonecall text message fax email. E: rip strikethroughs?

    • It’s not a real paper if it’s a meta analysis.

    • It’s not it’s not it’s not.

    All for arbitrary reasons that people have used to offset mundane garden levels of tedium or just outright ableist in some circumstances.

    People also seriously overestimate their ability to detect AI writing or even pictures. That dude may very well have gotten a sincere letter without AI but they’ve already set it in their mind that the student wrote it with AI as if they know this student so well from 10 written assignments they probably don’t care about to 1 potentially sincerely written statement to them.

    If people like that think it cheapens the value, that’s on them. People go on and on about removing pointless platitudes and dumb culturally ingrained shit but then clutch their pearls the moment one person toes outside the in-group.

    It just feels so silly to me.

    IT’S NOT ART UNLESS IT’S OIL ON CANVAS levels of dumb.

    It’s not altruistic/good-natured unless you don’t benefit from it in any way and feel no emotion by doing it! You can’t help the homeless unless you follow the rules! You can’t give them money if you record it.

    In the end, they still got that money. But somehow it devalues it because instead of raising two people up higher, you only raised one? It’s foolishness.

    People also seriously overestimate other’s abilities and cheapen what their time is worth all the damn time.





  • No, you’re blind to what you’re typing is all because you’re just not reading the replies. You’re arguing against a hypothetical person you’ve already made up in your mind with a gamut of very different things every time you reply but it’s okay.

    Nobody is arguing cops don’t kill black people at unacceptable rates nearly 2x higher than other races.

    Nobody is arguing there aren’t racist cops, or bad cops.

    You are arguing something completely different while not understanding the difference is a failure on your education system and multiple levels of failure at the local and government levels.

    It’d be pitiable if it wasn’t for reasons I’ve labored on ad nauseum about already.

    Trust me when I say everyone understands your position. It’s wrong. You trying to make up arguments other people aren’t saying is doing nothing but wasting both our times lol.
