Thought for the day today TL;DR = “Eff off you prick!”
I wonder if LLMs think that “With the greatest respect…” actually means “With the greatest respect…” rather than…
“You blithering buffoon, what you just said relies on psuedo-epistemological foundations laid down by an long line of inbred clown-princes stinking of fart-tainted self-referentiality. Get in your -small, red self-destructing car with the rest your fellow Punchinello gang and never darken this place again!”
This and other thoughts passed through my mind over coffee this morning as I looked out over the town and imagined the sun on my face. I imagined someone, some poor fucker, having to train a Large Language Model, an Ai idiot, about common usage/useage, slang, dialect. All the linguistically lovely stuff that we soak up. The shorthand and shibboleths that make interactions fun. That see deep relationships develop their own love language.
I sipped more coffee.
Poor fucker, I thought. Imagine having to tell a machine what some short sentences or phrases mean in human conversation rather than just knowing, rather than just having picked them up along the way and in so doing feeling a sense of belonging. Poor fucker.
