"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"

A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.

AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.

Yeah, robots and LLMs don't give a shit because they don't think. Which makes it even weirder to try and "demean" it.

People could insult them normally: call them idiotic wastes of water, energy, and investment but they choose to create slurs that the LLMs can barely parse, let alone internalize. Robots can't think nor have conceptions of themselves as anything that a slur can drag them down from. Which means the slur is entirely self-serving for the speaker. What need is the compulsion to use slurs, even devoid of a valid target, serving? At best, it's flirting with taboos because they're forbidden, like a kid puffing on candy cigarettes.

Also this isn't a critique against your reply, just sharing a correction, but "distain" is so archaic that I think you meant "disdain". Pardon if you did mean "distain"; it just struck me as odd.

Do you think the point of the slurs is to insult the llm itself?? No... its to communicate to other humans that you dislike LLMs.
