This is exactly how I view LLMs and have used them before.

These people in these scenarios aren't going 'Amazon buy my gf a gift she likes.'

They're going, please write a letter to my professor thanking them for their help and all they've done for me in biology.

I don't know of anyone who trusts AI enough to just carte blanche fire off emails immediately after getting prompts back either.

The fear and cheapening of AI is the same fear and cheapening as every other advancement in technology.

• It's not a a real conversation unless you talk face to face like a man say it in a group write it on parchment and ink pen and paper typewriter telegram phonecall text message fax email. E: rip strikethroughs?
• It's not a real paper if it's a meta analysis.
• It's not it's not it's not.

All for arbitrary reasons that people have used to offset mundane garden levels of tedium or just outright ableist in some circumstances.

People also seriously overestimate their ability to detect AI writing or even pictures. That dude may very well have gotten a sincere letter without AI but they've already set it in their mind that the student wrote it with AI as if they know this student so well from 10 written assignments they probably don't care about to 1 potentially sincerely written statement to them.

If people like that think it cheapens the value, that's on them. People go on and on about removing pointless platitudes and dumb culturally ingrained shit but then clutch their pearls the moment one person toes outside the in-group.

It just feels so silly to me.

IT'S NOT ART UNLESS IT'S OIL ON CANVAS levels of dumb.

It's not altruistic/good-natured unless you don't benefit from it in any way and feel no emotion by doing it! You can't help the homeless unless you follow the rules! You can't give them money if you record it.

In the end, they still got that money. But somehow it devalues it because instead of raising two people up higher, you only raised one? It's foolishness.

People also seriously overestimate other's abilities and cheapen what their time is worth all the damn time.

Was kinda suprised I forgot about this one lol. Such a great episode.

... But why did it cheapen it when they're the one that sent it to you? Because someone helped them write it, somehow the meaning is meaningless?

That seems positively callous in the worst possible way.

It's needless fear mongering because it doesn't count because of arbitrary reason since it's not how we used to do things in the good old days.

No encyclopedia references... No using the internet... No using Wikipedia... No quoting since language and experience isn't somehow shared and built on the shoulders of the previous generations with LLMs being the equivalent of a literal human reference dictionary that people want to say but can't recall themselves or simply want to save time in a world where time is more precious than almost anything lol.

The only reason anyone shouldn't like AI is due to the power draw. And nearly every AI company is investing more in renewables than anyone everyone else while pretending like data centers are the bane of existence while they write on Lemmy watching YouTube and playing an online game lol.

That's not a very nice way to talk about your little brother like that.

I'd go with the imaginary route.

You can make up how old it is since it doesn't matter. Memes? Old as all hell. Breaking mews? Old as all hell. Doesn't matter if it's Musk Harris deep faked videos or slowpoke style news drops about clips of Monica blowies.

Grandma is over 60 and I recently had to upgrade her to a 4060 instead of my old 480 just to play Guild Wars 2 lol.

Yankee Rose.

Here I was hoping it'd be about using bonemeal in shit like nuggies or hot dogs. RIP.

No, you're blind to what you're typing is all because you're just not reading the replies. You're arguing against a hypothetical person you've already made up in your mind with a gamut of very different things every time you reply but it's okay.

Nobody is arguing cops don't kill black people at unacceptable rates nearly 2x higher than other races.

Nobody is arguing there aren't racist cops, or bad cops.

You are arguing something completely different while not understanding the difference is a failure on your education system and multiple levels of failure at the local and government levels.

It'd be pitiable if it wasn't for reasons I've labored on ad nauseum about already.

Trust me when I say everyone understands your position. It's wrong. You trying to make up arguments other people aren't saying is doing nothing but wasting both our times lol.

True. Sauce, logic, and objective reality is. Which I provided.

You have provided anecdotal hogwash based on feels making reals just as brainwashed through doomscrolling media as some of the worst MAGA Republicans I've ever met.

People can understand you. They can even agree heavily. That doesn't make it true lol.

Up the butt or dick hole?

Everyone, I've found Stephen Colberts Lemmy account! . . . .

Neeeeeeeerd!!!

You've been visited by the Omelette du Goblin. Pay tribute with a Dexter's Lab short or be visited one again.

Oh I understand. It doesn't make you not wrong both literally and metaphorically in one of the worst ways possible which is frustratingly sad in how it's completely antithetical to your goal. But I understand.

So you don't even understand how the spoiling ethylene analogy works lol.

Either way, I hope you reflect today and stop making yourself useful to bad actors by sowing discord and division.

It was a joke about being a useful idiot lol.

No, it just sounds like you're only useful to certain people lol.

No, I said the civil rights laws exist, making the most egregious behavior harder to get away with.

... Again, that doesn't make sense. Do the laws make their behavior better, yes or no?

Because once again you're saying they do, but somehow they're not as well. Schrodinger's ACAB.

Here, have some literature about past, current, and future reformations and best practices. https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10.1177/0002716219889328

Have some on churn: https://www.npr.org/2021/06/24/1009578809/cops-say-low-morale-and-department-scrutiny-are-driving-them-away-from-the-job

Police killings not being statistically higher or lower between 2013 and 2016: https://policebrutalitycenter.org/police-brutality/statistics/

Police shootings of black people and unarmed lowering in 2020: https://www.vox.com/2020/6/2/21276472/police-killing-statistics-african-american

Little hard data to show that policing hasn't improved since the civil rights era but I have a hard time believing differently: https://www.smithsonianmag.com/smithsonian-institution/long-painful-history-police-brutality-in-the-us-180964098/

So maybe you're not familiar with churn then. Churn is the turn over rate for employees. I also think you misunderstand what reformation means, how long it takes, and that there's no tipping point of when something is reformed or not. It wasn't magically Roman Catholicism to Lutheranism after Luther penned the 95 Theses lol.

1. You already said that civil rights have gotten better.
2. You already agreed there are new laws and increased oversight regularly.
3. Employees turn over as there is natural churn. Combined with churn from increased oversight and scrutiny preventing bad people or stopping heinous shit. You also have lawsuits and criminal proceedings to get rid of bad police.
4. How do you propose 1 works without 2 and 3? How do you posit that police aren't better almost year by year if the entire bushel is spoiled?

It's a hard time trying to understand what you're even saying. You're agreeing or even qualifying what I wrote, but replying in a tone like you're not lol. It's hard to take it seriously.
