> For instance, calling out LLMs for what they are is appropriate to me, Well perhaps you're unaware of the tone of your writing, or perhaps I am, but I'd suggest that your original comment sounds rather hostile towards the field. Following it up with a comment like 'for what they are' is again not a comment that fosters discussion or thought. It implies you know 'what they are' and anyone with another opinion is simply incorrect. > One of the biggest criticism against all of this AI slop is its capacity to “fool” people I considered not using that term because I thought we might have this understanding. I put 'the people generating them' in hoping to avoid it, and thankfully you noticed. I see we still weren't quite talking about the same people, as I misunderstood your 'people' to be person that might be paying to use the flux.1 image generation models. If I'm understanding now you're focused on the ones that might take what's generated at face value because they haven't heard about hallucinations. On that front I'd just mention that it's worth spending some time looking in to the research being done on the topic. It's interesting some of methods being looked in to in order to prevent it. (Also your 'glue pizza' isn't in the same category of hallucinations because it was simply summarizing websites pull from a search). > A field that stole the whole of human creativity to sell it back to us for the empowering of the unethical sociopaths who control it. > > Why yes, I have considered my reasons; have you? How do you steal creativity? I'm really not sure I understand what you mean here. I'm not even sure if you're using it in the "you wouldn't download a car" meaning, or that it's literally replacing creative work so stealing that... but then does that even make sense? Either way, consider this, maybe the field will burn through a ton of billionaire money and all that will come out of it will be a bunch of open research papers and a bunch of open models. Would that really be so bad?
