I'm old enough that my teachers told me not to use a calculator during math class.

Now people not only use calculators, they are hitting a LLM for every response they write on social media.

I can multiply any two numbers between 0 and ~10,000 in my head.

These guys are going to have a hard time saying ANYTHING online or irl without internet access.

Like calculators, but for critical thinking and information processing. Used in this way, its a tool that robs the user of the ability to absorb information and discern important points.

It will not end well for them.

no rizz in irl

Yeah, yeah, is that the best you got, Mr. Critical Thinking Skills?

If one substantiates his views with citations, people online start saying it's LLM. Goes on to show how things are these days where opinions are thrown around as facts with no evidence whatsoever. Leave your assumptions to yourself and fuck off, you bitter little person.

"Deflation kills growth and prosperity; fiat and inflation made your iPhone possible" kind of Mr. Critical Thinking Skills.

Absolutely futile to argue with intellectually dishonest folks like yourself. So please do me a favor and do not cc me in your shitty discourses.

Goodness gracious.

I’m old enough there were no calculators

Talking about critical thinking skills but lacks the same skills to acknowledge: one can't say anything online without Internet access. šŸ˜‚

I've had LLMs make shit up, including math, many times during my undergrad work. I used them as research assistants and never trusted them for anything serious. Mostly just for finding references and checking my work or whatever. People are out there making decisions based on what could be made up information. The Meta one admitted to me that it's trained to provide information that sounds plausible if it can't find information. Reassuring as fuck.

they just repeat what they were told.

I'm not against reasonable LLM usage but its a crutch for these people.

Same. They don't necessarily just repeat though.

Again, no substance. Not engaging the information. Just changing the subject.

And again your analysis is incorrect.

Using an LLM to organize thoughts is not a flaw, your criticism is a reflection of you, nothing else. Your inability to engage the information and your desire to change the subject.

You're saying you don't like LLMs and you judge people who use them.

Looks like I could make the information more understandable for you by asking the LLM to explain it to a child.

If you know how to read, the information is clear.

Maybe you'll be able to combat the information rather than resorting to changing the subject someday.

I'd be happy to have a conversation about why LLMs are valuable, and people who use them will advance past those who don't, even if you don't like them.

For your childish response, and back to the money, we are all free to think what we want but we are not free from the consequences of those thoughts.
