@simon@fedi.simonwillison.net counterpoint: LLMs fucking sucks and we should convince people not to use it by any means necessary

  • @trevorthetuba@mastodon.social I think it's unethical to shame people into not using a technology by lying to them about its environmental impact, instead of spending time explaining all of the problems with that tech that are genuinely true

    @trevorthetuba@mastodon.social @simon@fedi.simonwillison.net I got tired of all the AI slop in a Github repo (the issues text, luckily others go through that particular code as it is JS/TS) and recommended this to my colleagues: https://gptzero.me/ It detects that the author is an LLM even if the LLM is told to deliberately include spelling and grammar mistakes. Must be based on the usage of big words (who says "paramount" IRL) and low information density. I do not need that tool, I can detect AI slop just by how tiresome it is to read, I've only used it 10 or so times (for both LLM and human written texts) to confirm my hunches.
