We need to talk seriously and plainly about the spiritual and existential damage done by LLMs.
I'm tempted to say "You're not helping," as my eyes roll back in their sockets far enough to hurt. But I can also understand how threatening LLMs must appear to programmers, writers, and artists who aren't very good at their jobs.
The question about why you should care about others and not just yourself has literature stretching back thousands of years. Maybe start with one of the major world religions?
Have you seen the latest AI slop in game design lately, destroying human creativity?
Have you seen how this tech is being used to control narratives to subjugate populations to the will of authoritarian governments?
This shit is real. We are slowly sliding into a world where every aspect of our lives are going to be dictated by people in power with tools that can shape the future by manipulating what people think about.
If you don't care that the world is burning to the ground, good luck with that. Im not saying the tech is necessarily bad, its the way in which we are allowing it to be used. There has to be controls is place to steer this tech in the right direction or we are heading for a world I don't want to be apart of.
> This just in: 90% of everything is crap. AI does not, cannot, and will not change that.
Use a search engine. Such a disingenuous take. AI is demonstrably being used to flood the web with slop faster than humans ever could. Now 99% of everything will be crap, just like your takes.

What I don't get is why I should care.
