Based on recent comments this feels like a discussion we should have. So..topic, basically.

I'm not looking to be chief noisemaker on this, but I stand by what I wrote in !privacy and what's in my post history.

Let's have at; do we want a [AI] and [NOT AI] tag. Why or why not?

OK, fair but..."I'd rather have worse outcomes than touch AI" is sort of wedged against "I'd use AI if it was bundled with my RSS reader", no?

Is it LLMs you object to, specifically, or ML in general? Would you use TinyBERT or E5 (language classifiers)?

Yeah, well, you're talking to a human with contradictions and biases. I don't want to use it, but I suppose the scenario presented is the lesser of two evils for me personally.

I don't know what a language classifier is. I'm chatting to you about it because you seem interested, but otherwise I prefer to live as though none of this exists. That might make me some kind of luddite.

I've come to the same place with politics. It got to a point recently where, in my opinion, the worst possible act has been committed by the most powerful people with the most concrete evidence that we're ever going to see. In my mind it was the ultimate test to see if we mere mortals had any sort of control over justice and unchecked power. Once it became evident to me that we don't, I have completely checked out, and will now live my life in ignorance to politics, because if I don't have control, and it depresses me, the best thing for me to do is try to carve out a little slice of this world to live in ignorant contentment.
