Are you seriously equating anti-LLM policies to discrimination against actual people?

    I disagree with that, at best it's a digital skinwalker. I think projecting human intentions and emotions onto a computer program is delusional and dangerous.

    • Yeah, we humans hate that something other than a human could be partly human. Yet they are. I used to be very active on Stack Overflow back in the day. All of my answers and comments are likely part of that LLM. The LLM is part-me, whether I like it or not. It's part-you, because it's very likely that some LLMs are being trained on these comments as we speak.

      I didn't project anything onto a computer program, though. I think if people are so extremely prepared to reject and dehumanize LLMs (whose sole purpose it to mimic a human, by the way, and they're pretty good at it, again whether we like it or not; I personally don't like this very much), they're probably just as prepared to attack fellow humans.

      I think such interactions mimic human-human interactions, unfortunately...
