@janl@narrativ.es *sigh*
If having anything positive to say or any curiosity at all about LLMs means I’ve fallen for a scam than ok I guess. I wish there was room for more nuance here.

@jacob@social.jacobian.org yeah, I know you understand there are some topics where asking for nuance is a dogwhistle and I consider this technology one of them. To me the only sensible position is to stay the eff away from it.

@janl@narrativ.es To be clear - my position is that genAI is on balance probably a net negative and if I could unring the bell I would. But also I would say that about the internet — and “there are good things about the internet” is hardly a controversial option (I think?). I get that The Discourse demands extreme opinions but I don’t think it’s “falling for a scam” to find positive things about AI, and I think it’s dead wrong to approach ANYTHING without a sense of curiosity.
