This is like all the usual anti-LLM talking points and sentiments fused together.

Doesn't it get boring?

I like using these models a lot more than I stand hearing people talk about them, pro or contra. Just slop about slop. And the discussions being artisanal slop really doesn't make them any better.

Every time I hear some variation of bullshitting or plagiarizing machines, my eyes roll over. Do these people think they're actually onto something? I've been seeing these talking points for literal years. For people who complain about no original thoughts, these sure are some tired ones.

Why do you insist on reading and commenting on these articles that bore you so much?

If I have to suffer "look at this busted ass thing I slopped out with AI" a few times a week, you all have to suffer grouchy "AI bad" a few times a week. Fair is fair.

Yeah, it gets really boring. Whenever I see "slot machines" or "bullshit machines" or whatever, I just ignore the comment and move on, because it signals that it's someone in such deep denial that they've turned their brain off.

I'd much rather read articles about what LLMs can/can't do, or stuff people have built with LLMs, than read how everything LLMs touch turns to shit.

Its usual gibberish that tries to throw many darts and see what sticks. Oh LLM's steal other people's work? Check. Oh LLM's cause ecological damage? Check. Oh LLM's hallucinate? Check.

When you see a pattern like this, you know that its not coming from any place of truth but rather ideology
