@Robinzz3@mastodon.au tbc i did not intend to rage at you so i apologise if my post was so clumsy in that way.
my utter rejection of gen-ai / LLMs though is due entirely to those three points i itemised. i am a simpleton who views everything in the world thru a morality lens, such that if a "thing", or a person, has good qualities, but has an unacceptable moral foundation, then i ignore the potential usefulness & reject the concept.
i also accept however that peeps with my opinion have entirely lost this struggle, as the world has gone ape-shit for this bad technology, problems be damned, alas.
best wishes.

@MsDropbear42@blahaj.zone No worries, and thank you for saying that. I didn’t take it personally. I understand your moral objection, and I don’t think it’s simpleton thinking at all. The concerns you named are real concerns. Where we differ is that I don’t feel able to reject the whole tool outright, because in my actual life it has become a very useful disability aid and reflective companion. That doesn’t make the moral problems disappear. It just means I’m holding both things at once: the usefulness and the cost. I try to use it consciously, carefully, and without pretending it is innocent. Best wishes to you too.
