People really do not like seeing opposing viewpoints, eh? There’s disagreeing, and then there’s downvoting to oblivion without even engaging in a discussion, haha.
Even if they’re probably right, in such murky uncertain waters where we’re not experts, one should have at least a little open mind, or live and let live.
It’s like talking with someone who thinks the Earth is flat. There isn’t anything to discuss. They’re objectively wrong.
Humans like to anthropomorphize everything. It’s why you can see a face on a car’s front grille. LLMs are ultra advanced pattern matching algorithms. They do not think or reason or have any kind of opinion or sentience, yet they are being utilized as if they do. Let’s see how it works out for the world, I guess.
I think there’s two basic mistakes that you made. First, you think that we aren’t experts, but it’s definitely true that some of us have studied these topics for years in college or graduate school, and surely many other people are well read on the subject. Obviously you can’t easily confirm our backgrounds, but we exist. Second, people who are somewhat aware of the topic might realize that it’s not particularly productive to engage in discussion on it here because there’s too much background information that’s missing. It’s often the case that experts don’t try to discuss things because it’s the wrong venue, not because they feel superior.
