Rare that people here argument for LLMs like that here, usually it is the same kind of "uga suga, AI bad, did not already solve world hunger".

Lemmy is understandably sympathetic to self-hosted AI, but I get chewed out or even banned literally anywhere else.

In one fandom (the Avatar fandom), there used to be enthusiasm for a "community enhancement" of the original show since the official DVD/Blu-ray looks awful. Years later in a new thread, I don't even mention the word "AI," just the idea of restoration, and I got bombed and threadlocked for the mere tangential implication.

Your comment would be acceptable if AI was not advertised as solving all our problems, like world hunger.

So the ads are the problem? Do you have a link to such an ad?

[–] heavydust@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 month ago

Not ads, whole governments talking about it and funding that crap like Altman/Musk in the USA or Macron in Europe.

What a nuanced representation of the position, I just feel trustworthiness oozes out of the screen.
In case you're using random words generation machine to summarise this comment for you, it was a sarcasm, and I meant the opposite.

Ask a forest burning machine to read the surrounding treads for you, then you will find the arguments you're looking for. You have at least 80% chance it will produce something coherent, and unknown chance of there being something correct, but hey, reading is hard amirite?

"If you try hard you might find arguments for my side"

What kind of meta-argument is that supposed to be?

[–] Nalivai@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

If you read what people write, you will understand what they're trying to tell you. Shocking concept, I know. It's much easier to imagine someone in your head, paint him as a soyjack and yourself as a chadjack and epicly win an argument.
