It's a tool, better teach how to use it than just dismiss it

It’s a corporate tool that turns your brain into mush. Studies have repeatedly shown this.

Better to learn how to use your brain. An actually useful resource as opposed to outsourcing your thinking by plopping your brain in a fucking jar and letting a glorified txt parser do all the hard work of thinking for you.

This is not a corporate tool, this is an open source tool that support Ollama, a self hosted LLM engine. It is this kind of open source tools that will prevent big corp to own the tech and make it work against you.

Yeah it’s the guilt free version of brainrot. Still a brain rotting tool that will dumb you down. Literally multiple studies have shown this.

Using Ai isn’t seizing the means of production, it’s rotting away at your ability to think and reason. It will make you rely on them to think.

My username is a reference to DBZA…

My name is just as much of a joke as yours.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

What is DBZA? Dragon Ball Z something?

Then what should we do ? Ignore LLM ? Teaching the use and the limitations (which are still important) seems more reasonable. I'm more worry about how it's going to be used against peoples

Learn to use your brain.

Using the tools that objectively (with multiple studies) have shown to dumb you down is not a solution.

Using Ai is not seizing the means of production and will only make you rely on them.

The way it is going to be used against people is to make humans stupid.

[–] xyro 0 points 20 hours ago (1 children)

You don't offer much arguments beside AI is bad, use your brain, whatever that means.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 16 hours ago* (last edited 16 hours ago)

Whatever that means.

Wow you really lost a lot of brain function already if you don’t understand that. My condolences.
