the best thing it could do, and once in awhile it does, is say, "hey that's really not a great way to do this and I'm not sure I could really make that work" ive had very long sessions with LLMs that obviously didnt know

oh, OK. You should google the term to see where it comes from. it's from someone who is essentially an anti-LLM activist and it's meant as a slur. That's likely why people consider it to be a slur, due to its origins.

book publishers who want to charge lots of money for exposure to fine new authors is absolutely a great place for a line to be drawn. not much different from concert ticketholders furious that singers were lip syncing some years back. th

oddly enough the TikTok referred to here was to be shut down in the US. But then the executive branch ignored the law while it could organize handing the company over to Larry Ellison instead. But these allegations date to when the com
