Husband of the wonderful @AnoNJG. All art that I post on this was drawn by her, for me, posted obviously with full permission. Should something be drawn by another artist I will make it clear and credit them, obviously.

Minors and such, DNI. Also honestly, you should not be here.

@nprofile1q... @nprofile1q... @nprofile1q... I can see the argument there, and I agree that not everyone that 'contains' something bad necessarily is, to the point it needs to be completely avoided.

In this case, as I already said in our more direct conversation, I think the bad just massively outweighs the good.

But as I already said there as well, this is it for me today. Take care!

@nprofile1q... I dunno, my wife is really into wrestling, and she often enthusiastically regales me with something or other that happened. I don't really care about wrestling but it's nice that she's so enthusiastic about it, and I'd definitely rather have her rant at me about it than spend time 'talking' to an LLM. :P

Anyway, I need sleep.

@nprofile1q... Fair, that is pretty bad for the environment, and also probably your wallet. Still, it's on a pretty different level.

LLMs have so many negatives, beyond just the environmental, which is already pretty bad, and the advantages seem miniscule. The scales tip too far to one side to consider it worth it.

I dunno, 'annoying' friends and family with something you're enthusiastic about seems more healthy and wholesome to me.

In the end, of course, you have to make your own choice.

@nprofile1q... Sure, but cars are multitudes less bad, and will continue to become less so.

Not sure what hobbies you have that are so bad for the environment...

And yes, politicians are always a sucky choice because it seems impossible to find one that only supports what you support.

But that doesn't mean we can't still reject some things. We don't need to accept the bad with the good about everything. Do you really lose so much by just not using LLMs anymore?

@nprofile1q... @nprofile1q... @nprofile1q... It's not really about what you're using it for, it's about using it at all.

And I just mean... you tend to have those takes where you seem to not really want to take a firm stance. Like here, you admit many of the bad points of LLMs, but still don't consider that much of a mark against it, or a reason to more firmly oppose it.

To take a line from one of my favorite musicals... If you stand for nothing, what will you fall for?

@nprofile1q... @nprofile1q... @nprofile1q... There is no ethical way to use one of those stupid LLM bots (I refuse to call them AI because that devalues what AI actually stands for), and you're really kidding yourself if you think otherwise, Sugar.
I like your stuff, and I generally like what you say, but you have those incredibly milquetoast takes on some things...
