For those who have been extra pedantic and focused more on the semantics of the arguments (i.e, you)

I’ve had 2 comments not including this one, neither of which discussed semantics. You never responded to my other comment.

Overall though, I have not called anyone derogatory names (unlike others in this thread)

While yes, that would indicate bad faith, never said you did that. Can’t speak to others, who shouldn’t do that.

I have not dismissed someone’s ideas out of hand without providing sources or examples, and I feel I have engaged in a respectful and calm manner.

It’s less that you are dismissing things or being disrespectful. It’s that your engagement has a pattern where you aren’t engaging at all with certain points that is very obvious. Your positive bias toward LLMs shows. Whether it is due to legitimate bias or stark contrast within the thread due to a very polarizing topic is tricky to parse but definitely comes off that you are invested in LLMs and are unwilling to acknowledge the downsides in a meaningful way. E.g. your outright dismissal of the lack of ethics because it doesn’t offend you personally and find those that complain to be hypocrites.

Sorry if my approach has not been what you would have preferred, but to be honest, given that you have not actually contributed to the discussion meaningfully, I frankly don’t give a shit.

Again, do you think you’re responding to someone else? I rattled off a pile of common complaints to which you never responded. At no point did I accuse you of anything or even remark upon your character directly other than observing the stated pattern of avoidance. One inference could possibly be made with my rebuttal of your ethics argument, but it’s kind of a stretch.
