Whenever I'm tempted to base my judgment on how something's been created rather than what the end result is, I think about the scene where Sheldon throws away the french toast Penny made for him, despite smelling good, just because "Monday is oatmeal day."
- gavinsyancey 2mo agoBefore LLMs came around, it took quite a bit more effort to write something than to read it. So the fact that someone had taken the time to create something was a signal that they thought it was worth that effort, and so it might be worth my (lesser) effort to read it. And even with that filter there was a lot of human-created crap out there. I value my time. With a LLM, it takes very little effort to create a vast mountain of crap that will take a lot of time and effort to read through. True, it is also possible to use LLMs as a tool while creating things that are not worthless. But the fact that someone has not taken the time to make their thing not sound obviously AI-generated is a strong signal that it will not be worth my time.
- teo_zero 2mo agoSure, it's your choice where to put your precious time. Exactly like Sheldon, you prefer not to dedicate any energy to question a judgment you have decided a priori. And like him, you might be missing out on some good stuff.
