At least with hentai it’s just drawings. Fucked up, but it’s a god damn world of difference from real life shit being posted.

There’s bad, and then there’s absolutely fucking vile

That’s… Not how any of that works?! You can be anti chat bot llm, anti anti ai mob hater, and pro llm science and research bot.

There’s more to the tech then just the chat bots the anti ai mob dipshits all seem to think of when llms come up.

It would also have been simple to not use any technology ever that has had controversy around it

But unless you are actively a lodite hermit living in the woods with no connection to the world. In which case your opinion on the topic doesn’t really matter in the grand scheme of things since clearly you already have a unhealthy relationship with reality.

Learning to have a healthy relationship with new tech is how to actually deal with shit. Not ignoring it forever as if pandoras box wasn’t open.

It’s not going anywhere, even if the bubble pops and all of it dies. Local models will only become more and more common, the tech will only become easier and easier to run and more efficient and effective.

Even if it devolves into a specialist tool for research and science only. That still is going to be something you will have to come to grips with.

The tech is far far more than just chat bots.

Personally I’ve found that ai is fantastic at pulling files off my phone cause I’m a lazy shit… Iv trained it so that when I tell it “do the thing” it pulls all the pictures off my phone and backs them up.

It’s fun, whimsical, and while I could do it a host of other ways. This is just more fun.

Which is honestly kinda what I see as one of the better use cases for local models. Sure you could do the same thing with a script, or by hand.

But it’s not as /fun/ as having a little robot butler that slings one liners from various cartoons that you don’t have to prepick as it enacts your will.

The majority of human history at all levels of science, philosophy, and mathematics. The best you could ever hope for was 95%. Hell you were lucky to break 90% accuracy.

Because the only people you could ask questions was the people in the room with you right then and there or the people you could actively physically go ask.

If you were extremely lucky you could write to someone who MIGHT know more. Or may there’s a book about it that someone knows exists.

95% can and frequently is very much over kill for almost everything anyone will need for their day to day life for random trivia or even most important work.

Very few fields need more than that, and few still is it a matter of life or death.

The part that people fuck up is not being open to learning more and being corrected.

The best way I’ve seen it put is that ai is the perfected form of the wisdom of the masses. It’s 90% right 90% of the time. But the most important part is the last 10%.

90% is good enough for most things in your day to day life that have no consequences. But it’s like people have forgotten what it was like before smart phones.

Back when your best chance of a good answer was asking who ever was in hear shot if they knew and just accepting that as good enough. You never treated it as fact just as the best answer your going to get at the moment.

For anything important you would go to the damn library.

You are likely high functioning autistic.

One of the key aspects to most mental issues are you feel entirely normal. Because you have zero fucking frame of reference for ANY other state of existence.

It’s why it’s basically impossible to self diagnose with any level of reliability.
