Yeah, this thing that's notorious for hallucinating and has only recently become even somewhat reliable is essential.

How did all those students from 2021 even survive??

Jesus, we're absolutely fucked.

Surviving is different than living in good conditions

As with every tool, it has downsides. Learn to use it or continue to whine

[–] null@lemmy.nullspace.lol 2 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

That is... literally my point.

You're comparing very disparate things. And I already pointed out the downside. No one here is whining about anything.

[–] Electricd@lemmybefree.net 0 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

And I already pointed the upside. You don't have to use the default UI though, custom UI exists, APIs exists, and you don't have to enter personal infos in prompts, as well as use your residential IP... this pretty much makes it unlinkable to you

To use your analogy, it's like someone said, "Well, if you want a Michelin 5-star steak au jus, then your wallet is gonna take a hit". And you replied, "That's like saying in order to eat dinner you need to raise your own livestock and train for years as a professional chef".

I'm not saying corporate LLMs are bad, or that they have no upside. I'm saying your scale for what's essential and what's a luxury is alarming.

I wish they were always a luxury, but in some situations they’re just too important to me
