It does, actually - people are alive and computers aren’t. In case you forgot.

Do yourself a favor and conduct a simple thought experiment that will destroy any possible argument. We are in year 2030, four years from now. LLM or similar architecture, produces output indistinguishable from a human. It can do this already if you are good at prompting to be honest. So you read an article and you have no way of knowing whether it is made by an LLM or whether it is made by a human. Do you cease to r…

Hey juleiie, do you retract the death threat you made against me, or do you still stand by it?

Anything I say is final. You may be upset, you may try to argue with it but usually I am right.

So you're confirming that you publically threatened my life, as the record shows, and acknowledge that you don't retract it, and that you still intend to murder me? Understood.

May I ask when you've scheduled my execution for?

Perhaps you if you weren't so wrong all the time, you wouldn't have to threaten to kill me when you lose an argument on the facts and evidence, and had nothing better to counter with than a violent death threat. That totally undermines your argument and proves you're wrong, and a psychopath.

Black-and-white thinking is the mark of a lazy mind. Reality offers more than two positions, and most of the truth lives in the space between them. Consider the practical case: you can sketch an article stream-of-consciousness, hand it to a model, and have something readable in thirty minutes instead of four hours. That isn't cheating. That's a tool doing what tools do. There's a certain irony in finding this much pr…

FYI, you're arguing with a petty psychopath who will threaten your life when she inevidibly loses an argument because the facts and evidence are not on her side.

Arguing is being generous, lol.

Ironically, if only she would use an LLM to write her comments, then at least they wouldn't contain as many blatant factual errors and tell-tale death threats that prove she's a human.
