I didn’t give the headline any thought, and it seems you’re projecting an intention to antagonize onto it. My sole aim was to share the piece because of its interesting content.
I agree that it’s always best when conversations can proceed constructively and without unintended antagonism. However, it’s also true that those who are critical of LLMs have made similar replies to posts with titles that couldn’t possibly be considered antagonistic.
To sum it up, let’s “be the change we wish to see.” If people make polite and constructive comments, we can have civil discussions. If people engage in sealioning or leave snarky comments, that will inevitably set a different tone for the discussion.
At the end of the day, if people aren’t interested in a particular topic, they can simply choose not to comment, rather than actively trying to antagonize others and then claiming victimhood.
You seem insistent to believe that I am attempting to troll, be snarky or engage in sealioning, when I am trying my best to genuinely engage. I did not, and do not claim that you had any bad intentions. If you follow through my comments again, you will see what my motivation was clearly. I simply started commenting to point out that, even if it is unintentional, and I do believe you when you say that it was, that given the context and history of these posts in this instance, this topic should be discussed with more grace. Nothing more, nothing less.
I’m not just referring to you specifically here. I’m pointing out the general tone of people who come into these threads complaining about AI. It’s practically never constructive, and it’s always the same set of talking points that have been addressed many times here. It’s worth noting the tone of your original comment though:
Yogthos is really relentless with all these AI posts. You’re not fighting for the poor defenseless AI technologies against the tyrannical masses with these posts.
You attack me for not editing the original title of the post claiming I was being antagonistic, yet you very clearly made a snide personal attack in your first comment. Then you pretend like you’re the paragon of civility and I’m being unreasonable. Maybe get off your high horse, and reflect on the way you engage with people?
I’m not trying to portray myself as a paragon of civility, nor am I above making bad judgements. I do concede that that comment I made was poorly worded and needlessly antagonistic. I will not try to defend that.
I am not trying to debate or argue. I don’t want any winners or losers or gotchas or whatever people seek from that. My whole aim was to express that there is frustration that is not unwarranted in these topics, and whether it’s deemed to be fair or not, the initial invitation to a conversation is important in setting the ground for the conversations that follow.
