Unfortunately I think that we need to be much more judgmental than is tolerated on this forum if we want to get people to stop writing with AI assistance. People are not going to stop spamming you with slop text unless the narrative is &quo

My point is that the differences between these models are so minor that obsessively benchmarking them comes across as navel-gazing.

From my perspective, the primary end-user selling point of LLM assistants is not having to read or write anymore. I think a lot of the "AI Addicts" are masking illiteracy, which is why they cling so passionately to the technology.

Moreso what I'm trying to say is that AGI is a return to the eighteenth/ninetheenth century fantasy of slavery as a business model. AGI means cruelty-free robot slaves.

IMO AGI is a bold-faced lie, backed by the age-old American fantasy of free labor. The whole concept seems quite ugly to me.

If you don't mind sharing, what types of jobs are you working on now? I haven't personally seen a speed boost from LLMs, but my experience with them suggests that they could be effective in some domains and inadequate in others. E

> Think of all the shops that will soon be composed of people that simply can't even get out of bed, if their LLM is not available. I'm biased because I don't use AI, but I don't understand why you wouldn't fire

A resolute anti-AI perspective is a breath of fresh air compared to the middle-of-the-road "AI made me 10x more productive BUT"-style comments. My professional opinion is that LLM technology doesn't work very well for softwar
