Who the fuck uses AI(LLM)?

Oddly, it went on a three paragraph screed about why I continually use
it's instead of its and started delving into psychological claptrap, so I removed it.
I told it that in the normal course of communicating with the written
word, it's is used so much more than its that I just make the mistake out
of a pattern of repetition and nothing more.
That wasn't good enough for it. It started trying to get into my head and fuck with my emotions, dog, so I axed it.
There's a whole newsfroup about exactly this: alt.possessive.its.has.no.apostrophe , apihna for short.
Who the fuck uses AI(LLM)?
If a person has never learned to effectively read, write, and program
then maybe AI(LLM) could be an adequate crutch.
Believe you me, at my employment
I receive email from high-ranking corporate people every day and it
is quite obvious that most, if not all, cannot even compose simple
sentences. Indeed, their messages often seem to be those of some
pre-school scrawler. It is amazing but perfectly true.
However, any thoroughly educated, sophisticated, and accomplished
person should have no need for AI(LLM). Indeed, such a person would
find AI(LLM) to be an affront.
Thus, it is very safe to conclude that users of AI(LLM) are all intellectually regressed slackers.
The laugh is that investors are spending $billions to cater to these
pathetic slobs.
All that I can say is: Fuck AI(LLM)!

Why can't you run the latest pan, compiled from the git repo?
I think I know why...

You must have asked your AI to identify and received a spurious
response. I am running the latest Pan.
Idiot.
But we all saw you accidentally post your User-Agent string before
you turned it off:
User-Agent: Pan/0.146 (Hic habitat felicitas; d7a48b4 gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/pan.git)

I don't believe that.
OK. So let's take a simple example to see how you understand the world.
As you pretend to read many books a day, imagine someone speaks to you
about a very good book. Unfortunately, this book is written in a
language you don't understand and nobody translated it in English. How
would you do? Would you pay someone to translate it in English? How much would it cost you and how long would it take?
With an AI, it would be fast and cheap.

That is a minuscule use case.
If the book were a truly good book, the publisher would translate
it into other languages.
Example:
The Transcendent Unity of Religions
De l'Unit|- transcendante des religions
Author: Frithjof Schuon
Original language: French
Translated by the publisher into English

But the major push by AI investors
is the everyday use cases of composing simple letters, messages, etc.
and to summarize "complex" documents. For educated people, such tasks
are completely unnecessary.
Thus, the major use of AI(LLM) is to make like easier for
mal-educated people -- and programmers.
That's why YOU need AI(LLM) and systemd and wayland.
You can stay in the past if you want, but in the computer science world, being late is being useless. Each time you refuse modernity, you make a
step behind.

It is not an issue of refusing "modernity."
It is an issue
of rejecting a technology for which I have no use or interest.
I also reject smart phones. I have no use for such a ridiculous
gadget. I have a simple and stupid mobile phone because that
is all I require.
Besides, there is nothing modern or revolutionary about
AI(LLM). The whole thing exploded because efficient hardware
suddenly became available (and elevated the Nvidia company to
the trillion-dollar level).
Each and every result has to be checked by a human.
Thus, when you speak of "modernity" you actually mean "fashion."
AI(LLM), systemd, and wayland are all nothing more than fashion
trends in computing.
None of them represent a better way, but
only a different way, of doing things. Indeed, in many people's
assessment they are a degeneration from past methods.
Yet machine translation is not strictly AI(LLM).
However, in conclusion, the inherent problem with AI is that
it is statistical and not determinative.
This means that the possibility of erroneous results will never be
absent.
Imagine a statistical washing machine.
After putting the clothes in sometimes they come out clean and other
times they come out dirty.
Would you use such a machine?
Or would you just wash your clothes by hand?

Yes, the purpose is to replicate the human behavior. The human being
doesn't give exactly the same answer to the same question.
This means that the possibility of erroneous results will never be
absent.
So what? The programs not using AI aren't free of bugs,

EfyeN+A That's great, Snipeco; I've subscribed to it. Thanks.
I'll be visiting that group irregardless of what anyone thinks and irrespective of any disrespectfulness.
Look at you there, with egg on your face!
(Or is that egg? Hmmm...)
LOL. Good one!
I also reject smart phones.

This particular sentence seems very hokey and stilted, as if he is
trying to seem genuine and have gravitas. No one talks like that in
real life.
No one receives email from *high ranking corporate people* in the
basement or attic of their elderly parents home.
