It's very important to call out, criticize and push out LLM usage for creative expression (writing, art, music, code).
But we also should not make "hunting LLM usage" our identity because it can also bind so much energy we could invest in building something better.
(I am in the target audience for this post)
@tante This is a great reminder. I had to tweak some of my follows on here because my feed was starting to lean heavily into that second mindset. I think I struck a healthier balance.
@tante look you're not alone and that scrutiny side of things is needed too
@tante I can't directly verify this, but there may be measures taking place to further develop the Tor network, to establish LLM's to decipher the most abusive application of Tech Bros AI, and potentially develop further countermeasures.
@tante I read the experience of an indie game developer that, first, researched a problem, then contacted the original authors of their game engine, before finally consulting AI and arriving at a 10 lines-of-code fix to their problem, and you know what, I can't blame them. Software developers failed them and the LLM didn't.
Us software developers really haven't been doing ourselves any favours the last two decades.
