Look. If you think these things are just neutral tools, to be used how and when they suit you, then just do that. Why do feel the need to defend and justify using them? (Again, I know why, this is rhetorical)

@jenniferplusplus@hachyderm.io Those who are most certain they're immune to the cognitive harms of protracted faux-discussion with an #LLM are much like those who are most certain they can never be taken in by a cult, an extremist group, or a long-con fraud. The more certain you are that it can't happen to you, the more susceptible you are, because of that certainty.

@jenniferplusplus@hachyderm.io Are there any arguments against using voice models for privacy?

@jenniferplusplus@hachyderm.io I've had people argue to me that "yes, there's social, environmental, economical, etc costs now, but if we keep using AI it's going to put pressure on someone to come up with a solution to everything." These are the kind of people that look at the narcissist's prayer and think "yeah, that seems like a good plan!"

@jenniferplusplus@hachyderm.io Know a bunch unfortunately, they also are unironically against setting up local models on their own GPUs since subsidization and out of sight out of mind.
