I gotta say: There are multiple uses cases for LLMs. The one I appreciate the most is that it serves as a very good search function. You can ask it a question, get some leads on what you're looking for, and then ask for specific sources. (Always check your sources!)

But the one that bothers me the most is the chatbots. That's the one I find insidious, and the one that inspired me to post up Mr. Beaver's famous line.

I was judging a speech and debate tournament a couple weeks ago, and in extemporaneous finals one of the competitors drew a question on AI chatbots. She totally killed the speech, and won first place in the event. (Everyone in that final round thought she was the best speaker.) It was interesting to hear a teenage girl talk about how seductive these things are. (Me, paraphrasing her.) "For an introverted girl like me, all I need is a book, a chatbot, and prayer, and all of my social needs are taken care of." She correctly identified how dangerous this line of thinking is, and how dehumanizing it ultimately is.

That application bothers me. It's a machine trying to act human. Feel for your hatchet.

In Unknown Armies, the school of the Plutomancers (wealth wizards) can cast upon you a curse that makes you lose one cent the first day. Two cents the second day. Four cents on the third. Eight on the fourth, etc. Each time, there seems to be a plausible reason.
It's a slow burn but after a few weeks you go from "duh there's a hole in my pocket" to "how could I possibly not know I had been waging my whole house into this crypto scheme???"

I apologize! :geek_blush: I try to accomodate that request without being asked, normally.

Fixed now!
