Bravo scientists for realizing how creepy this is and saying, let’s lean into it.

In this house planet we obey the laws of thermodynamics!

Wait that’s a thing?

Holy shit that a thing!? That’s awesome!!

Pretty sure Valve has already realized the correct way to be a tech monopoly is to provide a good user experience.

In this example a sugar is something that is sweet.

Another example is artificial flavours still being a flavour.

Or like artificial light being in fact light.

There is an alternative reality out there where LLMs were never marketed as AI and were marketed as random generator.

In that world, tech savvy people would embrace this tech instead of having to constantly educate people that it is in fact not intelligence.

If you think of LLMs as something with actual intelligence you’re going to be very unimpressed

Artificial sugar is still sugar.

Artificial intelligence implies there is intelligence in some shape or form.

Because you’re using it wrong.

No, I think you mean to say it’s because you’re using it for the wrong use case.

Well this tool has been marketed as if it would handle such use cases.

I don’t think I’ve actually seen any AI marketing that was honest about what it can do.

I personally think image recognition is the best use case as it pretty much does what it promises.

Yeah, I don’t get why so many people seem to not get that.

The disconnect is that those people use their tools differently, they want to rely on the output, not use it as a starting point.

I’m one of those people, reviewing AI slop is much harder for me than just summarizing it myself.

I find function name suggestions useful cause it’s a lookup tool, it’s not the same as a summary tool that doesn’t help me find a needle in a haystack, it just finds me a needle when I have access to many needles already, I want the good/best needle, and it can’t do that.
