  • Short answer: yes.

    Long answer: ai is a tool. In some fields it improved productivity. Not using it might hurt.

    Can I work my garden without power tools? Yes I can. Would I grow more tomatoes and eggplant with power tools? Indeed.

    Should I do it? Depends… Not if manual gardening is your hobby and you have fun in doing the action yourself… Yes if your livelihood depends on feeding your family with your garden produce.












  • Not true. It create independent train of thought. If you use an agent and look it act, that’s exactly what it does.

    That’s more thinking than my dogs. Less than a human. And not physiological thinking of course, just a bunch of mathematical processing, but it’s very well capable of performing basic thinking.

    It asks questions, provides answers, discusses those answers, drops them, and repeats. Still all mathematical processing indeed with a sparkle of randomness.

    But it’s a train of thoughts.

    Does it give any truth or reality to what it thinks? No.


  • The answer is no. An llm agent can write a post as well as edit it, and it can be done without the Lemmy instance knowledge or capability to detect.

    An llm agent uses a browser to act, so it’s much harder than a normal bot to detect. It can also use normal user credentials if those were provided to it, so it can edit my comment: create by human and edit by ai. Also, of course, true the other way around.

    (Edit note: in this case created and edited by human, if you believe me)
