I'm usually more bothered by the "I should be doing something" thought, with the implication of productivity but not necessarily profit oriented, more like house chores and so.
Aside from the unfortunate name of the university, I think that part of why LLMs may be perceived as smart or 'smarter' is because they are very articulate and, unless prompted otherwise, use proper spelling and grammar, and tend to structure their sentences logically.
Which 'smart' humans may not do, out of haste or contextual adaptation.
Thank you for taking the time to reply and thoroughly so.
I think the best differentiation you made between ontology and religion is key.
My issue with religious texts is that they (usually but not always) demand a full commitment with other practices and beliefs that I don't find fitting for me personally, and it seems like an all or nothing approach, so I end up quitting.
Let alone as you mention how these ancient practices have been stripped of their original intentions to be made more palatable to western audiences. Not only that, but now some people have even tried to co-opt them by sticking a western religious approach, further (imo) disrespecting and confounding.
I'm being kinda contradictory, and this is why I haven't sorted out my internal conflict between the search for inner peace -I wouldn'tbe so pretentious as to call it enlightment-, and my unwillingness to submit to religious dogma (I've had enough bad experiences, and not only with one religion).
I used to get really annoyed with blatant errors but I've grown more tolerant whenever they seem to be bona fide.
What I find a harder time with is the anti intellectual attitude of some people (I'm speaking overall online, not specifically on Lemmy), where writing poorly is used as a kind of code. And in the same vein, people who write using proper grammar and spelling being mocked.
There's a supermarket nearby that has a 'quiet hour' every day, mostly aimed at neurodivergent customers. I try to go at that time, it's a much less stressful experience.
I've tried getting into both a few times, to the point of noticing some benefits, but I fall off the wagon bc everything I read about it quickly goes into religious territory.
This wasn't my case, my parents were very well adjusted for the most part but it did happen to a former partner.
It was usually accompanied by a deep silence and denial.
Hope it gradually gets more normalized to at least talk about it; even if therapeutic alternatives may not be available, having support from friends and family is a huge improvement.
The only good part of calls is when someone's pet gets into frame. It's usually cats bc they can jump into desks, but sometimes someone will pick their dog up for us.
Same. I blame 80s TV montages.
