Hello, recent Reddit convert here and I’m loving it. You even inspired me to figure out how to fully dump Windows and install LineageOS.
One thing I can’t understand is the level of acrimony toward LLMs. I see things like “stochastic parrot”, “glorified autocomplete”, etc. If you need an example, the comments section for the post on Apple saying LLMs don’t reason is a doozy of angry people: https://infosec.pub/post/29574988
While I didn’t expect a community of vibecoders, I am genuinely curious about why LLMs strike such an emotional response with this crowd. It’s a tool that has gone from interesting (GPT3) to terrifying (Veo 3) in a few years and I am personally concerned about many of the safety/control issues in the future.
So I ask: what is the real reason this is such an emotional topic for you in particular? My personal guess is that the claims about replacing software engineers is the biggest issue, but help me understand.
The main reason the invoke an emotional response. They stole everything from us (humans) illegally and then used it to make a technology that aims to replace us. I dont like that.
The second part is that I think they are shit at what people are using them for. They seem like they provide great answers but they are far to often completely wrong and the user doesnt know. Its also annoying that they are being shoved into everything.
Google AI recently told me that capybaras and caimans have a symbiotic relationship where the caimans protect them so they can eat their feces
