A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

Yeah, I understand that you personally choose to disagree with reality

You saying your opinion is objective reality does not make it so. I agree that LLMs have their (few, niche) uses, but you're just being arrogant here.

I have made only factual statements. You can believe I'm arrogant for doing so, you can believe the preference of hundreds of millions of people is "niche" or "few" in number. Those are called opinions.

Which statements have I made that you believe to be my opinion?

These ones:

Yeah, I understand that you personally choose to disagree with reality, maybe you don’t like what reality has become, but unfortunately that doesn’t make it less real.

None of that is because they’re “magic beans” from which no value sprouts.

It objectively, undeniably has value. You can staunchly say pretend it doesn’t, but only if you are willingly blind to the voluntary usage patterns of hundreds of millions (possibly billions) of people every hour of every day.

And of course, the entirety of your first comment here.

Nothing of what you've stated has proven any of the above. Not that you care; you've decided you're right, and therefore any opinion you hold must automatically be fact. Far as I can tell, you're here to stroke your ego. Keep at it if you want, I guess — I'm not going to debate someone who only wants to hear themselves talk.

perplexity.ai is a better search engine than any current ones and that’s about as mainstream a use as you can get

After all I've seen LLMs fail to do – including on the occasion that I've tried it – I've absolutely no interest in even bothering to click on those links.
