I am completely okay with everyone dumb enough to outsource their critical thinking to AI having their lifestyle upended when the AI bubble pops

    The AI bubble might pop, but just as the dotcom bubble didn't mean the end of the internet it won't mean the end of AI. LLMs (or whatever might supersede them) are here to stay.

    I agree, but it will mean an end to highly subsidized LLM subscriptions and free access to any cloud LLM worth actually using for anything, which will make it much harder for the average person to rely on LLMs as much as this person.

    Just chatting with an LLM uses so few tokens I don't really see that changing

    You sound like you have a subscription

    Uh, that you sound like you have a metered subscription to some commercial LLM and you've thought about your usage. No need to be defensive. It's cool and trendy to pay someone to outsource your thinking and find new ways every day for your employer to need your intervention less.

    I genuinely didn't get where you were trying to go with that question.

    Honestly, I have very mixed feelings about LLMs. I don't think you're necessarily wrong, but I don't think refusing to use AI is going to help me or anyone else.

    @ammonium @davidagain I mean, refusing to eat sewage is healthy for you and prevents you from giving diseases to others. Just like me refusing to use xitter or bikbok keeps my brain wrinkly and keeps my data / money out of the hands of billionaire scum (as much as possible).

    You really can't go a minute without using gippity to look up anything you could have used kagi or ecosia for, thats going to give you the exact list of sites and forums that the llm (illegally) scraped and hallucinated ?

    I can go months without AI just fine. Yes it does hallucinate, yes it can create slop, but that doesn't mean it's completely useless.
