here is a concrete example of what I'm arguing for, it's frankly incredible that you can't even conceive how these tools could possibly be used productively https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KQog2g_zoJ8
If you can't just explain in your own words what is useful about this tech specifically in the context of our current material conditions I don't care to watch YouTube Ai defense slop
They're an AI booster. They can't explain anything in their own words, that's why they're like this.
not helping beat the allegations of toxicity
I can explain in my own words what is so useful about this tech specifically, but we both know you'll just ignore it anyways. Regardless, I'll put in the effort for other people reading this thread. What the video shows is how you can quickly do statistical analysis over a data set and find how data might've been manipulated to present a misleading argument. This is something that would've taken days of work by hand previously. Similarly, LLMs are great at doing translations, correlating information from documents, doing speech to text for creating transcripts that are searchable. These are just a handful of obviously useful things that save a ton of time, and help people on the left who do not have the resources of large corps and think tanks. But obviously parroting thought terminating memes about AI slop is what people who refuse to engage with the subject with even a modicum of intellectual integrity will do.
