Since I have been insulted:
My opinions about LLMs have been formed by reading some of the very
alarming results coming out of independent research, reliable news
reports of so many horrible behaviours by LLM boosters, hand of course
my direct experience of criminal computer misuse by LLM shysters
causing serious operational difficulties for systems I run and rely
on.
I don't need to smoke to know that smoking is harmful. Rejecting a
cigarette without assessing its "actual quality" is not an act of
prejudice. And as for the ethics, I don't need to inspect goods made
in concentration camps to know that I shouldn't be buying them.
Note, the slopbots are not people. They don't have rights. In
particular they don't have the right not to be rejected because of
their nature. Nor do they have the right not to be insulted.
