LLMs explained

2024-08-16 17:25:22.146371+02 by Dan Lyke 0 comments

Worth just saying: RT mkb @mkb@mastodon.social

Thesis:

If so much of our #writing can be generated for us by #LLMs, maybe that writing should not exist in the first place.

Collectively, how much of what we write is perfunctory and obligatory rather than interesting? Maybe that 50 page report could have been 5 pages. Maybe that news story pretending there is meaning in a trivial stock market move shouldn’t have been written at all.

Add in #AI summarization and it gets even more pointless— computers dancing for each other.

Especially since "AI summarization" isn't, which means that the summaries have no real value.

We will not edit your comments. However, we may delete your comments, or cause them to be hidden behind another link, if we feel they detract from the conversation. Commercial plugs are fine, if they are relevant to the conversation, and if you don't try to pretend to be a consumer. Annoying endorsements will be deleted if you're lucky, if you're not a whole bunch of people smarter and more articulate than you will ridicule you, and we will leave such ridicule in place.
