How does it make you feel when people use LLMs like search engines and then hand you extruded text as though it is factual? Have you seen IRL or just on boards? (lemmy.blahaj.zone)

Personally seen this behavior a few times in real life, often with worrying implications. Generously I'd like to believe these people use extruded text as a place to start thinking from, but in practice is seems to me that they tend to use extruded text as a thought-terminating behavior.

IRL, I find it kind of insulting, especially if I'm talking to people who should know better or if they hand me extruded stuff instead of work they were supposed to do.

Online it's just sort of harmless reply-guy stuff usually.

Many people simply straight-up believe LLMs to be genie like figures as they are advertised and written about in the "tech" rags. That bums me out sort of in the same way really uncritical religiosity bums me out.

HBU?

fwiw: I always remember it as "example given" and "in essence"

I just use "for EGsample" and "for EXample"

Also "In Eoutherwords"

But for those wondering: ie and eg are actually Latin acronyms!

i.e. - id est - "that is"

e.g. - exempli grata - "for example"
