  • Because you don’t know the difference between an LLM and other ML models, which, honestly, seems to be true for the majority of this thread.

    <refrain>

    Context in communication is king. Nobody today, in a conversational, non-practitioner context, will use the term “AI” to mean anything other than the stuff that’s being crammed repeatedly and at length into every orifice of the body politic without asking for consent in advance: LLMbeciles (and other forms of degenerative AI).

    People who babble that there’s lots of AI technologies that yadda yadda yadda are being wilfully obtuse and obfuscatory simply for the sake of being obtuse and obfuscatory. (It’s basically a sea lion tactic, understand. (For context, since context is king, when someone uses “sea lion” in this sort of message they do not mean the literal animal and are not talking about how sea lions hunt. They are referring to a famous comic that has a lot of sea lions up in arms as it revealed their tactic to the masses for edification and derision.))

    Yes the term “AI” covers a whole bunch of technology. But nobody today in this group talking about “AI” is talking about fucking genetic algorithms or fucking anthill optimizations or vision recognition systems or any of the other crap you’re going to try to spring on us with your slop-gobbling “A-ha!” moments.

    We mean LLMbeciles and other forms of degenerative AI, not fucking MRI analysis.

    Go find a slop-gobbling channel to masturbate in or something. You clearly have nothing to contribute here.

  • Long before there were AI bots, a colleague of mine, annoyed at a requirement of issuing a daily status report, just used a random sentence maker from a table of 20 techie jargon sentence openers, 20 techie jargon sentence middles, and 20 techie jargon ends. Anybody who could read could immediately spot that these were bogus, meaningless nonsense.

    Management at his project not only didn’t spot it, they held up one of his reports as the standard that all of his coworkers needed to aspire to.

    This is how little management actually cares about these make-work things they demand of people.

    A lot of my fellow students in university years took jobs as late shift/overnight shift security guards. They too were expected to write daily reports of things going on. “12:20 PM SO [security officer] Bloggins did physical check of west doors.” That kind of nonsense. Page after page after page of trivialities that nobody read. So one of my classmates started writing things like “01:47 AM SO Bloggins detected invading ninjas. 01:55 AM SO Bloggins wiped out ninja advance team. 02:01 AM SO Bloggins checked 7th floor access doors. All doors properly locked. 02:18 AM Boss ninja and SO Bloggins duel on 6th floor. 02:24 AM SO Bloggins discards boss ninja body in alley dumpster. 02:30 AM SO Bloggins checked automated teller bay for indigents. …” And so on.

    Never once got a question. Not once.

    Again, nobody bothers checking. The endless report-writing is just a “I’m powerful and can make you do stupid, pointless things” power move.

    So it should surprise nobody that at this time, when AI is the requirement and metric, that people fuck with it for fun and profit.

    “I can’t digest milk, so you shouldn’t eat cheese in front of me.”

    Are you deserving of compassion? Sure. Does this extend to the point that we should eschew saying things that are helpful and even welcome to the overwhelming majority of the population? Not a chance.

    Sorry, but not sorry.
