Honestly it feels more like setting up a lemonade stand along a marathon route that goes right through our collective vegetable gardens. LLMs are on a quest to scrape and steal as much as they can with near complete impunity. I know two wrongs don’t make a right, but these ethical concerns seem a bit mis-calibrated.

Well, I can go along with your analogy, and say that yeah, I'd be annoyed at the owner of the lemonade stand. Those marathon runners are trampling all my vegetables, and you're just trying to make a quick buck selling lemonade? People (me included) are annoyed at LLM creators scraping the web and gobbling up all copyrighted material, but it's mis-calibrated to get annoyed at Anna's Archive performing some sort of dig…

That’s a solid point. I guess profiteering probably isn’t the best impulse.

You can check the content of the torrents, just like any torrent. The client isn't a "one shot" LLM produce, I've been spending quite some time on it. What actual concerns do you have?

So you did use LLMs to write at least part of the software. I imagine you feel no shame, but it would be nice to at least mention it on the github page. It's a security risk. As for your question, I don't know about the person you're replying to, but for me any software where part of the source was provided by a LLM is a no-go. They're credible text generators, without any understanding of, well, anything really. Usi…

640k RAM should be enough for everyone.
