@mjg59 In this thread, you are only replying to one invalid reason (code is art) for an anti-LLM stance. At the end, you allude to one valid reason (invalid submissions) but gfail to address all other valid reasons (non-attribution, ignoring licensing requirements, global and local environmental harms of building data centers, etc.). Are you unconcerned about such things?
@lwriemen As I've said several times, there's a whole bunch of other negative externalities that are *extremely* bad, and which are not absolutely inherent to the technology. I'm not really engaging with that part because nobody needs to change my mind there, I already agree.
