      No it isn’t. That’s the distinction that is made when arguments arise, but the claims really are spawned indiscriminately.

      You need to understand what you’re complaining about before you can name it, and most people don’t understand much of anything about modern AI and LLMs.

        What then, O wise one, must we understand before we can criticize LLMs for the slop machines they would still be even if we eliminated the myriad ethical problems with how they’re currently deployed?

      No, but I believe machine translation is now powered mainly by LLMs, which is a damn useful application of the technology.

      I was surprised to learn recently that a few of my friends pay for Claude to help with personal projects and things like that. This particular AI tech is quite new so it’s surely too early to declare axiomatically that it has no uses. That sounds like an emotional reaction to me.
