Going to be linking to this anytime someone asks me about LLMs from now on. https://gracefulliberty.com/llms/ > I do not use LLMs or other "Generative AI" for prose or code, nor do I accept it from others as open source contributions. > I do not discuss my prose or code with LLMs. > I do not consult LLMs for projects, contributions, assignments, research, or anything else. > As far as possible and practicable, I have disabled LLM-integration in my tools or replaced tools that don't let me do so. > Requests for me to use LLMs or read content generated by LLMs will be met with disappointment and gentle refusal. > I want to use my skills and engage with other people in the process.
