@leeloo I hadn't thought about it as being something that takes magic away from folks like that. Honestly I always found it an accurate shortcut term for what's genuinely a fascinating but hilariously misused technology.
I think the worst part is then when folks hear "statistics" and go "See this is why it's safe to feed it raw data" and it's like oh my god NO.

@KayOhtie @leeloo honestly it’s safe to feed a model pretty much anything But where you direct the outputs and how they are acted upon can get incredibly dangerous amazingly quickly. There’s a common misbelief that if you’re careful about inputs, LLMs are safe; and that’s almost exactly backwards
