… 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.

    Guns are literally for killing like its all they do. Even for hunting the sole purpose is to kill. That’s not the case with LLMs, its just exclusively how these companies are using it as they have all the power to dictate terms in the workplace.

    • LLMs are for murdering the entirety of human culture and experience. They cannot work without doing so; it is their entire purpose: murder human creativity and then feed its rotting, dismembered corpse back to us.

      So I say the parallel stands. Guns kill people. LLMs kill culture.

      (P.S. Target shooters seem to not be killing when using guns.)

        I don’t agree with that. If you use it to destroy human creativity, sure that will be the outcome. Or you can use it to write boring ass work emails that you have to write. You could use it to automate boring tasks. Or a company can come along and automate creativity badly.

        Capitalism is what’s ruining it. Capitalism is what is ruining culture, creativity, and the human experience more than LLMs. LLMs are just a knife and instead of making tasty food we are going around stabbing people.

        and yeah people made guns just to put holes in pieces of paper, sure nothing else. If you do not know how LLMs work, just say so. There are enough that are trained on public data which do not siphon human creativity.

        It is doing a lot of harm to human culture, but that’s more of how it’s being used, and it needs real constructive criticism instead of simply being obtuse.
