GeePawHillMy view is that the reason so many younger developers are making such foolish choices -- LLM usage, text editors instead of grown-up tools, and others that will likely make some of my respondents even angrier than those two -- is because they are up and coming in a trade that has been grotesquely malformed by sitting on a money-printing machine for 45 years.
GeePawHillWhat kind of deeply fucked up people announce the creation of a new concentration camp by sitting around a table thinking about what "funny" name they can call it.

Now, having said that. The hotel room case is an interesting one, and I will have to think that over.
So far, I have not experienced sufficient trust in LLM output to distinguish those three bottles.
But I wonder, if I did experience that trust, if I believed the LLMs were reliable, would I, even then, pay the monstrous costs to society for that service to me?
I can't say no, truly. But I can wonder.

Note, too, that using LLM output in that hotel case is not actually doing what I said I wished people did not do.

GeePawHill@FreakyFwoof@universeodon.com An interesting point.
I would say that I made a request, I didn't castigate any reader who isn't a broligarchy scam artist.
As for alt-text? I say it here several times a week: "Alt-text or it didn't happen."
I don't read or fave or boost posts that have images w/o alt-text, being not blind but severely vision-impaired myself.
If someone's indifferent to whether I can parse their post, I'm indifferent to parsing their post.

GeePawHillI sure wish you wouldn't post LLM output.
Not even to make fun of it.
The fact that you're sharing it means that you're using it. The fact that you're using it means that you're counted as a user. The fact that you're a user means that you're helping extractive-capitalist con men steal money while simultaneously worsening the climate crisis.
GeePawHillHey!
Do you make stuff? Are you doing threads about your work in progress (WIP)?
Any stuff.
Software's my jam, but I follow people who make lace, cabinets, music, drawings, food, articles & books, videos, photos, paintings, boats and planes model and real, people who make anything, to be honest, anything but hate.
I like it when you share the WIP, and I am not the only one who does.
In fact, following along folks as they work is often one of the most pleasing parts of my day.
