@Pat Seems more likely to me that they're just imitating a style that they think is "cutesie".

@Pat Entirely possible. Could be a cultural thing.

I was speaking to a more generalized pattern.

@Pat Kind of. It's like how sometimes adults will speak in a childlike way after getting busted for doing wrong to try to avoid consequences.
They see people laugh at kids who make mistakes and call those mistakes "cute" and think it should apply to their grown-ass adult life too, because they refuse to take personal responsibility.

Obviously, there are degrees of this, but I've seen it often enough to understand such people tend to be wholly unreliable.

@Pat Because they're cowards who desperately need the people around them to keep lowering their expectations?

@RollingStone If "can" was the right word for that headline, then we'd already living in fascism.

Any functional government for and by the people must have accountability at every level.

The real question isn't "can", but "will".

@brad_frost What... uh, what are you actually planning to store there?

@Simonh Depends which workplace you're talking about. LLMs are like blockchain: they have a few very specific uses for which they excel, but during their initial craze, everyone's trying to fit the square peg into every round hole.

Writing jobs like translators and marketers will likely be automated into prompters, though, yes.

@Spicewalla Or, if you don't understand someone's argument, you could ask them to clarify.

But that wouldn't let you get your jollies off by lecturing people for slights you've wrongly perceived on the internet, now, would it?

If you want to feel outraged and pick fights, go to Twitter. Because that bullshit isn't adding anything to the conversation over here.

@Spicewalla It's revealing that you read that into my argument when I never said anything of the sort...

@NatlSecCnslrs Wait, I actually do use them for cleaning pipes. What are they called now?

@AriCohn So, are you planning out which arguments you're going to automatically lose next, or are you feeling reckless and just leaving it up to fate?

@kreyren Exactly my point. Any attempt to legalize it would eliminate its primary draw. Regulation costs money and people would NIMBY the hell out of this, introducing exactly the same level of friction that race tracks have.
