Comment on We never use AI. For anything

Comments

I find it very interesting that in a website that is ostensibly made up of the curious minded, the top level responses are everything but. From accusations of religious rhetoric, to outright dismissing the argument because they are 'old'. And the conversation naturally veers back into 'are humans not prediction machines themselves?', 'LLMs are much improved recently' and 'hand coding will be relegated to the artisans like other forms of art'. Nothing intellectually stimulating from the AI proponent crowd. Perhaps that's why they are fascinated by LLMs to begin with.

What doesn't sound intellectually stimulating is grouping up all AI proponents in a single crowd.

Also, the anti-AI author's app leverages a critical dependency that does use AI. So their stance pass no sniff test.

Perhaps so. It wouldn't surprise me if we were to extend an old phrase to "we are what we read". I have seen far too many LLM related discussions break down into politics, philosophy and one too many anecdotes that amount to hearsay, both here and out.

TFA is so bland that it had no reason to attract the amount of attention it did and yet, here we are, engaging under the same mundane conversation. I should get back to my hobbies.
