LLM Slop Makes You Look Bad
Filed under: 
grew up in the 1980s and back then chatbots did exist and some of us experimented with them on a computer screen. They were not too sophisticated, but they didn’t need nuclear power plants to work, or some dumb shareholders pouring out trillions into a deep well.
LLMs do not work, they cannot even properly summarise text (the way a human would, based on actual comprehension).
“An old online acquaintance (who is quite internationally famous),” one friend has told me, is among the fools who fell for this scam. He “has also swallowed the bullshit hook, line, and sinker,” I am told. “He has come the closest to making that LLMs bullshit look useful but it’s sad to see him turning a blind eye to all the problems and shortcomings and spewing marketing noise.”
Lots of people try to fake not “being behind”, so they adopt whatever crap the media promotes, even if it doesn’t have potential, only hype.
“He used to be no-bs,” I am told of the person above. “I see what he is doing and can guess why. I’m no sure if he is a centimillionaire but he is trying to join the “club”; they have, either way… I hope he is able to repent, while he has time.”
To those of us who never use LLMs for anything (it’s not needed) the above looks like a person addicted to some drug. We don’t have any interest in this drug, we hope the person who is addicted will one day sober up.
