In reply to a developer on one of the Linux kernel mailing lists, Linux creator Linus Torvalds firmly put a foot down to push back against anti-AI comments.
Restricting discourse to a single realm makes it by definition a monoculture, which then intrinsically debases it to a fragile and brittle construct.
LLMs may well be useful and/or effective from narrowly myopic perspectives, but I’m yet to identify any which could legitimately be framed as justifiable or ethical.
It’s particularly galling given a fundamental aspect of how LLMs function is to incorporate myriad dimensions of input, yet to arrive at anything resembling a defence requires cherry picking arguments.
The discussion should stay technical.
