LLMs are great at checking grammar in writing. That's the other thing I've found they're useful for 🤷
Basically, using LLMs to write something is always a bad idea (unless you're responding to bullshit with more bullshit e.g. work emails 🤣). Using them to check writing is pretty useful though.
Zawinski's law: Every program attempts to expand until it can read mail. Those programs which cannot expand are replaced by ones which can.
This is just the modern equivalent: Intra-site messaging.
I guess it's time to bring back flag burning.
What better way to demonstrate that America is "the land of the free"?
What better way to demonstrate that it's not the land of the free, by prosecuting such a trivial thing.
Really doubling down on that, "he actually is the antichrist" thing.
It's an acronym, people! Say it right:
"Gee" "Eye" "Eff"
...or impress us all with your knowledge: Graphics Interchange Format.
Make CompuServe proud.
This is Texas we're talking about. There, people shoot at each other just to say hello some times 🤷
I find it telling that the best rebuttal anyone can come up with to my comment is to say it's a "shit take."
I mean, wow.
It's easier to walk through the eye of a needle than convince religious people they're being scammed.
Bolton: Trump is going to weaponize the DOJ and the FBI!
Trump: Yes. Now do me a favor and resist arrest or something.
I'd say this is a betrayal but no: This is how Trump has always operated. Bolton knew this when he went to work for Trump. This is merely the logical conclusion for anyone who willingly works for Trump.
Plagiarism isn't correct either. For something to be plagiarism it needs to be both copied exactly as well as intentionally lying about the authorship (i.e. you claim you wrote something that you didn't).
The output of Large Language Models similar in some ways to plagiarism—when someone claims they wrote something that was actually just the output of an LLM. However, that really isn't the same thing because an LLM isn't a legal entity that's capable of owning anything.
LLMs are also just a tool. An advanced tool that can generate all sorts of texts and software but they still require a human to tell them what to do.
If some human asks ChatGPT to write something in the style of Stephen King what even is that? That's not against the law (you can't copyright a writing style). It's basically, "not a thing." Is that even a bad thing? I honestly don't think so because of I put myself in those same shoes: "write a comment in the style of Riskable" all I can do is 🤷. It's of no consequence.
I'd also argue that it's of no consequence to authors either. What impact does it have on them? None. It doesn't effect their book/whatever sales. It doesn't hurt the market for their works—if anything, it makes the market for their works greater because their works won't be total shit like the output of some LLM (LOL).
