But still, why would someone swat over something like this? Seems insane

Thanks Donald, good luck in November

They absolutely do, and I have no idea why you’re so angry

The problem is not the LLMs, but what people are trying to do with them.

They are currently spoons, but people are desperately wishing they were katanas.

They work really well for soup, but they can’t cut steak. But they’re being hyped as super ninja steak knives, and people are getting pissed when they can’t cut steak.

If you give them watery, soupy tasks they can do successfully, they can lighten your workload, as long as you’re aware of what they are and aren’t good at.

What people want LLMs to be able to do, ie. “Steak” tasks:

• write complex documents

• apply complex knowledge/rules to a situation

• Write complex code and create entire programs based on vague description

What LLMs can currently do ie. “Soup” tasks:

• check this document and fix all spelling, punctuation and grammatical errors

• summarise this paragraph as dot points

• write a python program that sorts my photographs into folders based on the year they were taken

Half of Lemmy is hyping katanas, the other half is yelling “Why won’t my spoon cut this steak?!! AI is so dumb!!!”

Update: wow, the pure vitriol pouring out of the replies is just stunning. Seems there are a lot of you out there who have, in one way or another, tied your ego very strongly to either the success or failure of AI.

Take a step back, friends, and go outside for a while.

That’s not weed, that’s wee

Really feel sorry for the guy. Apparently the drinking was the only way to ease the physical pain he was in so much of the time.

I believe it’s spelled “TURRRIST!”

But if you do them all at once they cancel each other out

You gotta get one of those used crack pipes, otherwise you’re missing out on the extra flavour

I feel like the official mascot of vim should be a mime trapped in an imaginary box lol

Was curious about the increased customisation so I went dual boot around the time of windows 7.

Went full time Linux when windows 8 came out. Windows has only continued its enshitification since then, so it really paid off.

Every machine I’m currently running would run like dog shit with windows, but runs like brand new with Linux Mint.

2 years is nothing to a Linux user lol

Thanks, I hate it

Had to spin up a virtual windows machine the other day and was just honestly appalled at how bad the desktop experience is these days

Don’t do it… don’t touch the belly… no matter how enticing… you’re being tested

for one reason or another

Greed, mostly lol

Ooh, a Gentoo user!

Check your neck for extra beard hairs, or your legs for knee high socks

Ubuntu is plastic
