Yes! It really is something special. Post something, and people will engage with it authentically. I love Lemmy so so much and I’m glad “normal” people are allergic to federation.

Absolutely. It is essential to use these LLMs with an abundance of caution, and to explore a broader range of sources from various viewpoints.

Caution and breadth of sources should be staples of any historical or contemporary investigation, but alas, the minds of my fellow citizens have been eroded; these practices cannot be assumed to be broadly adopted, and as such, when saying something positive about LLMs, we must provide ample disclaimers and remind the general populace of the dangers and harms these technologies expose us and our surroundings to.

No haha but I see your point.

It is important to use these tools with an abundance of caution, and those who cannot think critically should certainly stay away from them.

LLMs are unequivocally a net negative to humankind, but there are silver linings.

Certainly! that’s why you use them to find sources. I don’t immediately trust anything an LLM spits out.

I actually don’t go out of my way looking for stuff like this. I can’t tell you where I got it from, but it was probably one of the popular shitpost subs here on Lemmy.

This is corroborated by the fact that it was another Lemmy user’s most recent image.

Interesting that your therapist is adamant that your conditions were worse than you perceive them to be.

I’ve never had a therapist, but I had a traumatic upbringing. I’d rate my childhood -5; what would a therapist think of my past, I wonder?

Despite the problems with these LLMs, I have found them tremendously valuable when it comes to finding sources regarding historical events.

It’s much easier to find historical evidence that goes against the status quo with LLMs than it is with a conventional search engine. I suspect that this is an unintentional side effect of the technology; the fact that these LLMS are black boxes might have something to do with it.

That is pretty on the nose, but still an interesting perspective.

Some banks will do you the “favor” of transferring your automatic payments to your new card. Not sure if/how this applies to credit cards, though.

I’m going to start using that!
