      And calculators can’t be tweaked to subtly change messaging to push a narrative, or a product, or whatever.

      Calculators didn’t steal the work of all humanity to try to put them out of a job.

      Calculators don’t really get used for scams by cloning people’s voices.

      Could go on and on how calculators and LLMs are different.

        the internet does the same! so TV! they can do the same with books! i think we should burn them, what do you think?

        ai didn’t do that either, it was capitalists. and as far as i know its a good thing that they “steal jobs” having less jobs means you can play more. except under capitalism. oh, so it seems you’re complaining about capitalism here, ok, let’s move on.

        ok, away with e-mail, i got an e-mail that was clearly a scam a couple of weeks ago.

        yes, you could. the issue is that you’re not complaining about AI, you’re complaining about tangential stuff to ai, most of which are not AI directly or are temporary shit that can be modified. sure, water issue. that changes. processing power. that can be more efficient and it will be. so fucking please complain about AI.

          Which is that they don’t understand how statistics and probability work. The LLM generalizes patterns that get imprinted on the neural network during training, and then these patterns are expressed in the given context during inference. The stochastic aspect of the system is what allows the LLM to adopt generalized training to the specific problem being solved. So, the outputs LLMs produced are clearly not random in a sense of playing bingo because randomness is not the dominant property of the system.
