I’m well aware, but I think clearing misconceptions is valuable, and since I’m getting a fair amount of votes in both directions and discussion, hopefully that means people have read and considered my point.
I’m not going to recommend people use LLMs for everything or even claim that they’re perfect for everyone (in fact, I don’t like using them), just that they do have valid uses and, if it comes up, can be used efficiently (i.e. not burn down the planet). I use them a handful of times in a given week, often less, and mostly to get more keywords to search on a traditional search engine.
So yeah, it’s whatever. I very much dislike both extremes here, and am trying to drive home the point that there is a happy middleground.
Forget trying to say anything positive about LLM or AI. The Lemmyverse downvotes any positive comment related to AI.
