I'm imagining a whole fucking person just flipping on their head to continue giving the other head and then flipping back only for the other person to go "yeah, just like that"

If we want to apply the fascist argument here as well, yes, I think napalm could only benefit a cause that, if nothing else, lends itself to fascism. However, putting that aside, there's no good use case for napalm in general. I can't believe I keep trying to re-word and explain that tools made for/inherently tied to suppressing or devaluing people and art are fascist, and it goes nowhere.

Ah, like orange cats. I can relate, I'm cis but my fursona is orange, and since I'm dating an enby, I can confirm we only have two brain cells between us.

Thing is, we can't share, so we "fight" "viciously" over who gets them at any given time. We need both braincells to think of flirty and teasy things to say, so whoever lacks braincells that particular night is automatically the bottom.

Sometimes, instead of fighting over the braincells, we yeet them at each other, screaming, "No, its YOUR turn to love ME!!"

We are a very normal couple.

Slippery slope fallacy. Some tools are inherently wrong to use. Since we're talking about weapons of war, you could never make this argument about napalm, for instance. The flaws of LLMs are inherent to them and can't be painted over, no matter how perfect the paint or how well intentioned the painter.

Yeah. I'm shocked to see so much... well, not neoliberalism, but neoliberal arguments under this post. I really thought this would be uncontroversial in a place like this.

Yes, and as funny as it was to see songs or games run through google translate twenty times and then brought back to English, those translators were indeed getting better with time. We don't need LLMs for anything, yet people keep reaching for ways to use them that they can justify, to themselves or others.

I think the idea of a machine that feigns intelligence is the opposite of progressive.

As individuals, the ideas and experiences of others should inform, but not solely dictate, our own views, right? Therefore, someone who spouts nothing but the ideas of others, even if citing each one, is unwilling to think for themself. If that person doesn't cite their sources, it means they're unoriginal and a plagiarist.
If we want progress towards a better world, LLMs are the last things we need. A black box that dulls our minds by pretending to be "intelligent" when it could never possibly be so while causing copious damage in every sense of the word doesn't sound like progress to me. At best, it's what mainstream social media algorithms do, but on steroids, and while social media itself isn't evil, those absolutely are.

Maybe calling all LLMs fascistic is an exaggeration, just like equating fascism with capitalism. Two different words exist for a reason, they are different ideologies, but the latter always benefits/leads towards the former, and LLMs share that relationship with fascism.
