there’s no use case for LLMs or generative AI that stands up to even mild scrutiny, but the people funneling money into this crap don’t seem to have noticed yet

This is why I dislike the narrative that we should resist "AI" with all our power because supposedly, if our employers got us to train the chatbots, they would become super smart and would be able to replace us in no time. In my view, this is simply not true, as the past years have shown. Spreading this narrative (no matter how well-intentioned) will only empower the AI grifters and reinforce employers' beliefs that they could easily lay off people and replace them with slop generators because supposedly the tech can do it all.

There are other very good reasons to fight the slop generators, but this is not one of them, in my view.

Big brain tech dude got yet another clueless take over at HackerNews etc? Here's the place to vent. Orange site, VC foolishness, all welcome.

This is not debate club. Unless it’s amusing debate.
