Well do the work and call it for what it is, not just "AI".
Generative AI.
LLM
Is it truly that hard?
I mean you seem to want to, and thus we can have a discussion about it, which I favour instead of having people just being generally angry it seems.
The day when it doesn't crush the environment, should we use gen AI to help us in our daily lives? Or should we not? Is there something good in it? Or isn't it? I'd love seing constructive discussions but they just get globbed by people thinking with their gut it seems. Like if you don't hate "AI" then you're pro genocide.
Sorry for the rant!
