That blog post is just a bunch of insults to anyone not agreeing with the writer without actually giving any elaborate or truthful argument on why is not just a tool and it’s always inherently “evil”.
Some arguments made can be easily disproven. For instance the climate change one.
They main point of the post is that “no matter how you use LLMs”. But then the argument given here it’s highly dependant on how you use them. The amount of environmental damage of LLMs completely depends on which LLMs you use, how you use them and how often you use them.
This just here it’s showing the irrationally of the blog author.
But it goes one, next point is economics. Which is also 100% dependant on HOW YOU USE IT. Not all LLM are made by big evil corporations, and there’s nothing in the technology preventing it being made by anyone.
For a blog post whose main argument is that saying “it depends how you use it” is wrong, have only give arguments that are dependant on how you use. The author makes broad ignorant assumptions about how people use LLMs, asserts that everyone uses them like that and then pretends to control everyone lives based of that. That way of thinking is highly dangerous and it’s what have given birth to a lot of evil on our world. We need to be better, more rational, more open minded. Not falling for easy politics and actually do complex political thinking that won’t give simple answers to complex questions.
Yes but unfortunately this specific tool is here to stay. Either we learn on how to use it properly and ethically and we regulate it, or we will be in deep troubles. Just denying and refusing to accept AI is here is dumb.
By regulate I mean at state and super-state level (not thinking of USA, but of the world) and define and accept proper ethical rules, both for individuals and corporations.
There is no such thing as just a tool.
‘You can’t say it’s just like a hammer because hammers also affect your brain in the ways we condemn LLMs for.’
