Sadly, it seems like Lemmy is going to integrate LLM code going forward: https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/6385 If you comment on the issue, please try to make sure it’s a productive and thoughtful comment and not pure hate brigading.

Edit: perhaps I should also mention this one here as a similar discussion: https://github.com/sashiko-dev/sashiko/issues/31 This one concerns the Linux kernel. I hope you’ll forgive me this slight tangent, but more eyes could benefit this one too.

    My point was that people are using the term ‘AI’ when they mean LLMs and/or Image generation.

    You asked for good AI uses, when you mean good LLM uses which is the only point I wanted to make.

    Yes, LLMs are pretty bad at most things. They’re usefulness is basically around that of a search engine or Stack Overflow. They’re often used as a crutch for junior coders, which damages their training and vibe coding is just a novelty… not a production-ready tool.

    I don’t disagree that LLMs are massively over hyped, just that they’re only a tiny portion of the AI technologies. Most of which people should be excited about.

    That’s why it’s frustrating seeing the confusion. LLMs suck, image generation is terrible for many reasons… but AI has many other uses than making 6 fingered people and shitty code.

      Adding perhaps an additional layer of nuance - You’re totally right that there is an nomenclature issue around AI, and that the technology (basically like most technology) is value neutral. But, I think it remains a valid decision to make a choice to personally avoid it, and to engage with services and communities accordingly.

      I’m perfectly happy to agree that there is “AI” use which is groovy. Maybe as result of narrowing the definition or using it conscientiously. I understand the difference forms it can come in. But me, personally, I want to use a service that strives for no AI, regardless of if it is good, bad, or neutral. Searching for a niche like this is actually why I started using lemmy (pretty recently).

      I don’t begrudge lemmy taking an approach like “AI must be disclosed and reviewed” as suggested here (https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy-docs/pull/414/changes). Let Lemmy party however it wants! Honestly, I appreciate the disclosure, because it lets me know upfront that this isn’t the niche I was looking for. No shade, but I’m out. Nothing but peace and love to everybody who remains.

      I was asking for good uses of LLMs since we were talking about those. Sorry for being unclear.
