How can friends stop friends from using LLMs? 😢

@nina_kali_nina what are they using it for

@MiaWinter coding 🥺

@nina_kali_nina I had once a good video on the topic, but the degradation of youtube and search engine search is currently rendering me unable to find it

@nina_kali_nina stop being friends with them?

@hypha that's not great as an option:( two people will lose friends

@nina_kali_nina well, i think, this question should be more specific.

Also have this problem, but in a bit different manner. My relative does it, but mostly of loneliness i think (they live quite far away, so i can't help by myself)

@kacperpotoczny nod nod; the question is half-ironic, because there are many valid reasons to use LLMs, and even if there weren't, they're so ubiquitous great many people use them now and then

@nina_kali_nina say "boil the ocean" instead of "use an LLM"

@trianderror I've heard the sentiment "It helps me so much because I don't need to stack overflow all the time, and Google is not helpful anymore". It makes me terrified

@nina_kali_nina @trianderror I find LLMs on par with very junior devs these days. Very useful to do implementation of boilerplate and pretty standard stuff. Key is to keep the interfaces well defined and functions small. Speeds up development by 1/3 at least.

@sandor @trianderror out if curiosity, have you tried working with actual junior devs as a project leader?

@nina_kali_nina @trianderror yes, of course, I'm not saying LLM is like working with humans, but in terms of code implementation capabilities purely based on proposed architecture and interfaces this is my experience.

@sandor @trianderror then, out of curiosity, what argument from your friend would convince you not to use LLMs?

@ramiil it's happening ^_^

@ramiil training dataset is collected unethically, a major use of it is unethical (compare with cars, for example - lots of them can be used for good, but most are used in a way that's generally bad for everyone), and it requires lots of energy to run. That's my beef anyways

@ramiil
>What's mean "dataset is collecting unethically"

LLM is not only trained on public domain data, it is trained on copyright data and copyleft data. It is legally a nonsense.

> major usage of many of tech are unethical
Let's not get into "there are no evil guns, there are evil people" debate? :)

> We need energy, as more as possible, our civilisation is depend on energy.

Exactly, and AI is far from being the best way to use the energy. Though it's not the worst offender yet. But the companies behind it want it become one. That's not great.
