@benjamineskola@hachyderm.io it's at least a very cheap way to dispose of criticisms, that is true. But there's some logic quantifiers you can inject into such a statement. "All critics don't know enough about about LLMs" is likely wrong. "There exist critics that don't know enough about LLMs" is likely right. How many? I have the feeling, but that's just me, it's not a rare exception.

@cdegroot@mstdn.ca I’m sure there are some critics of LLMs who are not well-informed, you’re correct. But in the contexts of statements like “#boycottai is not a good response”, it sounded like your meaning was ‘there are no critics who are well-informed’. I also sort of disagree when you say ‘there is no going back’, protest ‘is not going to matter’, etc — I feel like that’s self-defeating. Of course there will be no going back if nobody protests! In so many cases it appears that people are not happy with LLMs but decide they have no choice and so use them anyway, which simply entrenches the apparent success, and so makes LLMs harder to avoid — the very situation the user was unhappy about.
