General community for news/discussion in the UK.

Less serious posts should go in !casualuk@feddit.uk or !andfinally@feddit.uk
More serious politics should go in !uk_politics@feddit.uk.

Try not to spam the same link to multiple feddit.uk communities.
Pick the most appropriate, and put it there.

Posts should be related to UK-centric news, and should be either a link to a reputable source, or a text post on this community.

Opinion pieces are also allowed, provided they are not misleading/misrepresented/drivel, and have proper sources.

If you think "reputable news source" needs some definition, by all means start a meta thread.

Posts should be manually submitted, not by bot. Link titles should not be editorialised.

Disappointing comments will generally be left to fester in ratio, outright horrible comments will be removed.
Message the mods if you feel something really should be removed, or if a user seems to have a pattern of awful comments.

There's a difference between using LLMs to edit text, provide ideas or give you information that you can double check because you have the subject matter experience. Relying on it as a substitute for skill when something important is at stake like someone's well being is reckless at best.

Sure, but the original quote was:

Everyone anywhere using one on the job should be fired

There's no nuance there it's just AI = bad. I agree that it's shouldn't, in its current form, be used as a substitute for skill in important situations. You're totally right there.

I never said AI = bad. AI is much broader and contains worthwhile and non-plagiarized approaches.

If it's worth doing, do it properly.

No you did say that.

Everyone anywhere using one on the job should be fired

You said anyone using an AI in any capacity should be fired. I have heard infinitely better takes from 4-year-olds and why they need more ice cream.

This is on a post about chatgpt use. Chatgpt is from the set of llms, which is a subset of ai.

Ai is cool. The current batch of LLMs/PISS can leave.

[–] TheGrandNagus@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago

You want anybody using LLMs in any capacity to lose their livelihoods. That's very much a "AI bad" take with zero nuance.

[–] TheGrandNagus@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago (1 children)

That's not what was said. What was said was anybody using it in any capacity for any job should be fired.

Which is obviously a very, very stupid take.

Yep I agree. Also I love your user name.
