Comment on How are you going to never forget 9/11 this year? What are you never forgetful for?
mirshafie@europe.pub 1 day agoLook, we can also ask an LLM just like you did, we’re fully capable of that. But this is a forum for humans. That’s why it’s expected that everyone write their own posts.

It’s actually a pretty good starting place that more people should consider. The risk is that many of you are incapable of reading the output and making an educated assessment of whether what was returned is good information or actual slop. Both are possible outcome.
Which is why I responded in the first place with a quick compilation widely available information and why I reviewed what was returned. You just have a very uninformed and irrational hatred of LLM just like anti-vaxxers have a very uninformed and irrational hatred of vaccines.
Oh fuck off with that… do I have to write it in cursive on college ruled notebook paper and scan it in and post it, too? Do you say the same thing to people who post wikipedia links? Do you say the same thing to people who post links to studies?

You’re going way too far and jumping to conclusions that are frankly quite unhinged. I have very little desire to engage with this because you’re raging, but just to be clear I use LLMs for many tasks and I think they’re a great tool.
However, you’re misusing it by having it write an essay for a forum post, and I’m pretty confident that it’s not received well by pretty much anyone else either. Literally anyone on here can easily produce what you posted by prompting any free LLM - so what value exactly are you adding here?
Posting links to good sources is always welcome. Pasting excerpts from websites or books, with citation, is great. You can ask an LLM to help you ground your post in facts with sources, or clean up your writing, fine. But yeah, I don’t think it’s a huge ask to expect users to contribute their own thoughts on a forum. I’m interested in what you have to say, and I won’t apologize for that.

It was a simple and well written list that answered the question that was asked. What fucking difference would it have made if I created the bulleted list myself if it said essentially the same thing. Are you pissed off at LLM or that I somehow ‘cheated’ and only spent a minute to produce the list instead of 15? What exactly is your problem with it?
What I had to say is that 9/11 resulted in security theater and our freedoms being infringed upon. There was a request for examples. I provided said list. That it didn’t come just from me somehow irrationally pisses you off. That’s a “you problem”, not a “me problem”.

No, I just think you made a low-value contribution. I am not angry. I don’t want to argue about it further.
