The general vibe is that LLMs are glorified magic 8 balls that tell you what you want to hear. Honestly I’d rather listen to a magic 8 ball over an AI because it’ll actually disagree with you.
You cant be racist towards an object or a piece of tech BECAUSE THEY ARENT SENTIENT NOR ARE THEY A RACE.
I fully understand the slippery slope argument being made here, but it entirely relies on someone not being able to diffentiate between a non sentient machine and a human. Which yes might be an issue if someone isn’t smart/ cognizant enough to tell the difference. But at the end of the day yes as a human I am inherently better and worth more than ANY clanker. And I will continue to hold that belief until it can be proven without a reasonable doubt that one of those metal monsters are sentient. And anyone unable to grasp that point IMO is too afraid of Rokos Basilisk to be considered sane. And I will stand by that statement any day of the goddamn week.
