You still don't get it.
Think about the act of writing with a pen.
Now think about what a typewriter does in that context.
Now think about what an LLM does in that context.
Can you reason about how those are vastly different tools within the context of writing or communication, so much so that the comparison doesn't actually make any sense?
Hint: it has nothing to do with determinism. It has to do with the nature of the work itself and the role of the person doing it.
As an aside, this whole exchange really is just a perfect encapsulation of the outcome-focused versus process-focused individual.
The outcome-focused person sees words in a document and whether an LLM produced them or a human typed them is a distinction without a difference.
The process-focused person is utterly baffled that anyone could think those are in any way equivalent.
- qarl2 21d ago> You still don't get it. HEH. I just read your comment three times and I definitely don't get it. I think its entire point is to express outrage about not getting it, rather than actually explain it.

- unknownfuture 21d agoWeird, I don't think any of my comments express outrage Bafflement? Certainly. Maybe a little sadness at the lack of understanding of, or appreciation for, the creative process? Sure. Outrage? Nah.
- qarl2 21d agoI think it was your phrase starting with the word "Hint:". I only see that construction used condescendingly.
- unknownfuture 21d agoYup, fair point, totally valid criticism.
