I've reached a point where I think I'm going to follow @totallydonna.kitrocha.com's new rule and if I see someone discussing/admitting to using GenAI I am just going to block them. We need to get this train back on the tracks b/c there are so many useful things technology can be doing but NOT THIS.

First, stop calling them AI. They're not intelligent. Intelligence requires understanding. They don't understand anything. Second, LLMs don't have opinions. See first point. Third, you can't have a "back and forth". You extend a prompt and it gives you more text. Stop personifying these things.

Woah, steady on there. I think you may have, just slightly, completely missed my point. But, LLMs are AI, they have the ability to process info, combine it with pre-existing frameworks and generate novel answers. They don't have sentience, obviously, or unhinged emotional reactions... thankfully.

My interpretation of your initial post was, roughly: "Why bother publishing if you're going to use a ghostwriter? Don't you know other people could just hire them to write more of the same?" and "LLMs are capable of forming opinions and engaging in discourse." Is this incorrect?
