Ask Lemmy
A Fediverse community for open-ended, thought provoking questions
Rules: (interactive)
1) Be nice and; have fun
Doxxing, trolling, sealioning, racism, and toxicity are not welcomed in AskLemmy. Remember what your mother said: if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all. In addition, the site-wide Lemmy.world terms of service also apply here. Please familiarize yourself with them
2) All posts must end with a '?'
This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?
3) No spam
Please do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.
4) NSFW is okay, within reason
Just remember to tag posts with either a content warning or a [NSFW] tag. Overtly sexual posts are not allowed, please direct them to either !asklemmyafterdark@lemmy.world or !asklemmynsfw@lemmynsfw.com.
NSFW comments should be restricted to posts tagged [NSFW].
5) This is not a support community.
It is not a place for 'how do I?', type questions.
If you have any questions regarding the site itself or would like to report a community, please direct them to Lemmy.world Support or email info@lemmy.world. For other questions check our partnered communities list, or use the search function.
6) No US Politics.
Please don't post about current US Politics. If you need to do this, try !politicaldiscussion@lemmy.world or !askusa@discuss.online
Reminder: The terms of service apply here too.

The only decent use of LLMs I have seen is a bot on Mastodon that generates alt-text automatically for posts of users who opt-in, and shows how much power was used to generate the text.
Other than that use case, I hate LLMs. They have never been useful for me and it just seems like overkill for most things, a search engine would do fine, you just have to use your brain a little bit.
Image generation also sucks. Stock images exist and you can just draw, take a photo, hire someone, etc. AI makes people less willing to learn because they think that AI can just do it better, it makes them miss out on the joy of art.
AI's job is to lie about being human. I fundamentally disagree with that and think its existence is unnaceptable. If AI-generated output was somehow always tagged as AI-generated, then maybe I would change my mind about this, but this is completely unenforceable because AI copies and mimics human output.
