LLM’s owned by billionaires dis-empower both workers and small businesses, and you really should avoid using those, even if it’s free.
Local LLMs that run completely on your own computer empower individuals. Yes, they don’t think for you and some (very dumb) people seem to struggle with that. But for people who can be bothered to put the intellectual work in, they give you the ability to do more. “What algorithms can I use to solve this niche problem” is not the sort of question stack overflow was ever great at, and good luck finding the right book – but the AI will give you options that you couldn’t have came up with that you can think about and decide on for yourself. Yes, those options are ‘stolen’ from other people, but if those people would begrudge you making your life better they’re not worth considering anyway. It’s useful in other areas too – yes even art – if you don’t accept the first garbage it spits out and are willing to work and modify and build on or away from it to make it more what you want. (Again stolen style from artists, but inspired by artist’s style has been a thing forever.) We should be using tools to empower people, and make the world a better place for people. AI can help with that.
Rather than trying to kill AI in general, we should be ruthlessly mocking AI companies and business people for thinking AI will ever be used remotely. Why would anyone be dumb enough to build any meaningful part of their business on a remote service subscription?
It’s just a magic 8 ball that tells you what you want to hear.
Sold back in an inferior version as a subscription.
It’s not human intelligence, it’s human knowledge, and LLMs are running fancy autocomplete on prompts using that vast sum of knowledge.
No it’s not. It’s just a pattern recognition algorithm; a lager version of a smartphone word suggestion tool.
It contains no intelligence. Unfortunately, you can say the same thing about some people, too. Same difference. 🤷♂️
It isn’t human intelligence. It isn’t any kind of intelligence… it’s an input-output machine that drags your query through the fecal sediment of reddit/youtube/4chan/etc comments and presents you with what sticks.
It’s like a toaster: untoasted bread goes in, lever gets pushed, machine does its thing, toasted bread comes out. Toasters aren’t intelligent… or stupid, or any other measure of thought processing, because they don’t think. They just do.
Except instead of bread, it’s a question or image or w/e, and instead of toastiness it’s shit.
Thank you for attending my Ted Talk.
Frakkin toasters man
There’s also the argument by pro AIers who say “well it passed the Turing test, so it’s intelligent!”
What they consistently forget is that the LLMs cheated by being built with the entirety of the internet’s data, with at least some of it being guides on how to complete said Turing test.
Once an AI passes the Turing test without the entirety of the internet’s data being fed to it, then maybe it’s intelligent, who knows.
I think the better way to word the Turing thing isn’t that the LLMbeciles passed it but rather that humanity failed it.
Great way to put it. Education is pretty shit in most places, and after people leave all forms of education, well, you can’t change the fact that some will stay (or worse, become,) stupid.
This is why it’s such a low blow by the AI companies to position as worker replacement tech, it’s so easy too.
People pass the Turing test and look how dumb most people are.
It’ll still only be a parrot.
LLM’s what? LLM’s code? LLM’s murders? That’s a possessive apostrophe, you’re supposed to put a noun after it.
Believe it or not, but apostrophe-s is permitted in abbreviations.

Yes. That was the important point. The apostrophe. Because nobody could possibly figure out what the message was without it. Even though spoken it would be the same with or without it and readily understandable.
Because pedantry is an extremely attractive trait that is in no way, shape, or form obnoxiously pointless.
Then why not also write billionaire’s?
Hey, I’m just pointing out that OP doesn’t have much intelligence either. Artificial or otherwise.
Right. It’s
turtleshumans all the way down. And if you spend enough time on freelance job boards, you realize that everyone in this sector is trying to find “experts” willing to train models to approximate what they do. Hey, if someone has to do that to make a quick buck to feed their family or whatever, well OK, but boy is it gross. 🤢I got three such offers by direct email just this week.
No, thanks.
Ffs. Human intelligence might not be all that much, but at least it’s intelligence, unlike LLMs.
Can someone make this with the funny biker style skeleton with a smoking gun and sometimes with cigarettes?
AROOOOOOO
Here ya go
Ask AI
I’ll see myself out.
Lol. Must have hit a nerve!
I’ll never pay for AI. I’d much rather not have access to information than give these giant corps money. I’ve lived this long without it, I’ll live the rest of my life without it.
“AI” is like Frankenstein’s monster but put together from lifeless thoughts
Sub…scription? What are you on about?
That’s the model every LLMbecile vendor wants and offers. The free chatbots are the loss leader. (With “loss” holding up a lot of lost dollars!) The intent is to have you convert into the paid subscriptions.
Which almost nobody is doing.
