I have seen LLMs used to karma farm in order to create sellable accounts, but this account is 12yo which I find more disturbing because it means it used to be a real person’s and is now being used for something else.

    Im just saying, the McCarthyist argument of “its AI/LLM” has to be dealt with at some point. If an LLM can argue equally or better than ahuman, focus should probably shift to the axtual argumeent as the nexus of discrediting its alleged AI source, rather than shrieking “ITS AI/LLM!” being sufficeint to shut down discussion

      An LLM cannot “argue” full stop. If you find yourself in a debate with the text outputted by an LLM bot you have accomplished nothing besides wasting your own time (which is the entire point).

        All the more reason it should be easier for a human to “win” the argument without needing to rely on AI-McCarthyism.

        If not, your argument has a fatal flaw that can and will be discredited in similar light

        The minute one feels the need to break the fourth wall and appeal to the debate version of some McCarthyist Deus Ex Machina authority to win their battle for them, all is lost

            The problem is it exists even if you insist in doesnt in the alternative to losing it.

            If there is a question and you cant or wont answer, that refusal to engage can result in adverse inference that is little different from you “losing”.

            Not that that necessarily “matters”, its just this whole cheap point of “u AI, I win” is horseshit and I refuse to entertain it. If you are invested or have investment in the outcome of a discussion, you should out your best case forward. But the Neo-McCarthyishm bullshit needs to die. For my part, I refuse to entertain it, my arguments will always speak for themself and I dont particularly give a flying fuck if someone wants to glibly shriek “AI!”

            It just so sad and embarassing for them to stoop so low cuz they losing to have to go that way. In my own way, I grieve for their loss of esteem they humanly generate for themself in that situation. That kind of generation is all too human

      How many people use social media to talk to LLMs instead of people? I don’t think most people use social media under the impression comments they respond to and read are AI, but actual people.
