I think in a non market economy I would still work on language models. It’s cool that a machine can hold a conversation.

Go outside. Touch grass. Talk to humans.
Artisian@lemmy.world 1 month ago
I do those too! That’s where the ideas for new architectures, datasets, and training tweaks come from! Math is fun, and it’s fascinating that math can talk sometimes.

It’s not the purpose of LLMs to lower human skills’ value, it’s just the inevitable outcome.
Transcriptionist? Industry died with good voice recognition 10-20 years ago.
Ditch digging shovel crew? Dramatically de-valued with the advent of the steam-shovel…
and on and on… The theory goes that it gives people more free time, but the way wealth is distributed it is dividing people into those with jobs serving the wealthy and those who live on handouts.
I think: non-stigmatized “handouts” for everybody are the way of a brighter future. UBI FTW.

The sole purpose of all tools ever created is to lower the value of human skills.
LLM’s are hyped but have some value as a tool.
BroBot9000@lemmy.world 1 month ago
Only tool I see is you. Ai apologist get blocked.

Stop living in a dumbass fucking filter bubble.
Blocking is for people who are abusive, not people who coherently express a point slightly different then the one you made.
And they are literally unquestionably and objectively right. Literally every single toll every created was made to reduce the amount of labour it takes to do a task, which reduces the value of human labour. It’s called automation. Read Karl Marx if you think you’re such a leftist, hell explain it you.

I don’t understand the wild eyed hate for a spell checker on steroids. LLMs predict the next word like the phone keyboard you use every day.
Hate the hype, not the tool.

I'd rather be a decent and respectful ai apologist and tool than a shade-thrower. I implore you to research Ghandi friend

Please do me next. I hate it when people reply to me with dumb shit like that, missing the entire point, as I’ve seen with your other comments.

Not entirely true. This works only for unskilled labour, meaning anyone who is not skilled in lying and cheating your way into a management positon. Or poor people.

50 years ago - you won't believe how many paper pushers we'll be able to get rid of once this invention called computers takes off!
Also, man these robotic arms sure help automate our factories, but if you turn your head upside down you will see it as 'lowering the market value of human skills'.

Hey tech-bro how much money did you loose on NFTs? 😂

Government operates by accepting our individual political authority, and utilizing that investment of power to provide paid services to customers (“taxpayers”).
Our investment of political power makes us shareholders. Like any shareholder, we are owed a return on our investment. The government should be paying a dividend to each and every citizen.

that’s the point of every technological development lately

No it’s purpose is to censor information and trap humans into bubble where the only options will be corporate locked chat or physical book. After that cut the books by lobbying for replacing public libraries with chat ( because it’s cheaper ) and leave humanity with nothing. Look how they pressure education now. They want every human to speak with robot so they can control us. It’s not about robot being good or wrong it’s about you reading what it prints and putitng it into your brain so it melts it.

All the world’s a stage and here you are playing pretend middle management with racist pile of linear algebra. Adorable.
Here ya go. Lean how to write without a synthetic text extruding machine holding your hand while guzzling more water than Ai fanboys slurping corporates sloppy seconds.

Nah, thats just a side effect. The primary purpose of AI is being a hype object that companies can use to inflate their stock. I like how this blogpost explained it pluralistic.net/2025/06/30/accounting-gaffs/

LLMs have a more mystical pull than other previous hypes, but look at what happened with crypto and blockchain. Every fucking government and company was saying that its the future and now nobody gives a shit about those anymore. It might be later than you and i would like, but eventually it will pass.

Most people don’t want to use them in the workplace, only the super tech bros from what I’ve seen. I don’t see AI having a big impact, especially since people don’t care to have it replace their jobs. I think if AI was here the. lots of jobs could be at risk, but LLMs aren’t AI and I doubt they will be in the next 5-10 years. LLM prompts can’t do 90% of all jobs. They can help summarize and pull a first draft for some stuff, but as an end product they can be pretty trash and don’t sound natural whatsoever.
I think you’re right about the LLMs ruining the entities that rely on them though.

Probably the biggest victim of the LLM hype is academia. I dont have anything quantitative to back this up, but the students around me that rely on chatgpt a lot seem to be failing their exams more than those that arent.
