This. Tools work as well as you use them. Absolutist hatred of AI is just brain slop.
Unless one's absolutist hatred of AI is based on hatred of the billionaire class and Big Tech, and love of the environment. Right?
I hate the billionaire class, big tech and I love the environment - but don't tell me I can't drink Coca Cola (or literally any off-the-shelf drink) and I'm ordering too much on Amazon! Once we take the radical responsibility that we're all a part of this problem, we can start taking logical informed steps forward that don't involve divergent emotions like hatred.
lolwat? Hating one thing just because you hate another thing sounds completely irrational.
If A creates B, and A is worthy of hate, it's not necessarily irrational to hate B as well. Context is important; in some cases, hating B would be irrational, in others it would be logical. Your point is too absolute to be correct.
In the specific context of the use of LLMs, it can be perfectly fair to condemn the existence and use of Claude, Copilot, ChatGPT, Grok, etc. because of the harm their billionaire owners and investors are causing to the world, even if the LLMs aren't otherwise necessarily bad.
Billionairess own grocery stores and every other type of thing. That would be a stupid reason to hate any of those things.
