my own usage of deekseep v4.1 flash, and that among the dozens of great programmers i know, not a single person is using it
BUT. they are employed to do / deciding-to-do authentic (if often meaningless) stuff.
here's a short list of inauthentic activity that claude and openai refuse to do:
- chat services that, when you ask them, say they are not chatbots when they are
- code to work around software licenses or DRM
- code to scrape or download copyrighted material
- directly cheating on homework
- adopting a persona in social media that spreads misinformation or propaganda
this is but a short list. but ask me, "are there enough inauthentic activity demands such that someone who CANNOT USE claude or gpt as the LLM would use dsv4.1 on openrouter instead?" yes. i mean there are whole countries right now where the culture can be summarized as, "bottom to top, inauthentic activity." i am surprised it is not more usage!
So your argument is that the 38T of tokens used in the last 7 days is by moron programmers or people doing "inauthentic" tasks? You think the person who made this post is also an idiot?
Do you realize how incredibly delusional/self-centered you sound?
