I understand, but I will continue to stubbornly dislike LLMs.
Can I ask why you feel that way?
I dislike general artificial intelligence. I understand that it can be a useful tool, but at the same time the thought of being in a world where people's jobs can be replaced with robots for the sake of profit and you won't be able to tell whether you are talking with a real person or not repulses me.
Well, while I do agree that it sucks that some jobs may get replaced history has shown that it always leads to creating more jobs in place. The weavers lost their jobs when the loom came about, but far more jobs were created because of it, same with the printing press and every other advancement, the nature of advancing technology is to replace the old with the new.
Ugh, the robot phone calls are going to get a hundred times worse, that one is true, I'm not sure if it'll make the standard corporate phone maze better or worse, maybe better because at least you can screw with the robot while you wait instead of having the same 30 seconds of highly compressed garbage elevator music blasted into your ear on repeat.
