Ah, I see painting everyone with one brush. Never mind the numerous studies stating otherwise. Oh the irony when you claim others are spreading misinformation.
So tell me, what has changed? Are we suddenly not gobbling Up the entire internet without permission to train AI models anymore? I must have missed something... (/s)
Honestly, personally, I tend to agree with Linus on his position, but holy fuck you have your hypocritical nose way up in the air.
20 bucks says this person is basing their stance off that 1 study from a couple years ago where like a dozen developers with 0 experience with AI were tested using it and didnt show an increase in productivity.
Which is, in fact, precisely also what I was referring to when I said "People are still operating on assumptions of how these tools work like its 2023 and not 2026"
People use that study like its some big gotcha when in reality it just proves the simple fact that people need to be trained in how to use a tool in order for the tool to be useful.
Dawg is indeed in the "doesnt know wtf they are talking about, skill issue” bin. Imagine unironically asking this question.
If you have to ask, you arent ready to participate in these convos and are just spreading a bunch of uninformed misinfo.
I dont want to talk to someone about this who hasnt put in the work to be informed.
Go get informed first, then come back in a few months and we can chat once you know the answer to that question.
Spot the difference. If you're so knowledgeable you should be able to figure it out. Mind you, you should have been able to figure it out without my help, but I digress.
Yeah, imagine how that person (oh wait, that's me! Hint: you can address me directly) can unironically ask about how the process of training LLMs and the continued use of them potentially violates literally thousands of agreements. The problem is the answer hasn't changed, as much as you would like to ignore it. If you don't know that, you have absolutely no business accusing others of being misinformed.
If you dont know, you arent prepared to engage in this convo.
Im not interested in discussing this topic with someone who even has to ask, lol.
