@samir I think I'm even more exhausted by the well-meaning, well-reasoned, balanced takes that try to find the positives in LLMs. I appreciate it and also usually try to argue in that way but specifically for this topic it's draining the life out of me

@dtemme Is it because most of these takes are in bad faith? Because it’s definitely not in good faith when you ignore negative externalities (climate, etc.), power differential, the abuse required to make the product (model-training sweatshops)… If anything, I think that one of the crimes here is that we technology people mostly ignored all this when it was in other fields, e.g. fast fashion.

@dtemme related I’m blown away by the emotional reaction I’m getting to research backed posts that examine the challenges we face with these tools. Foot instance this post https://agilepainrelief.com/blog/ai-generated-code-quality-problems/ has got many reactions about dated research @samir
