If someone can justify abusing a computer, I would not trust them to not make a similar justification to a faceless voice on the internet, particularly in this new era where people are starting to accuse each other of using AI in their communication.
I truly do not believe llms have feelings.
I wouldn't even think to justify such a thing. The llm gives a better accuracy to a negative weighted token input, I don't understand how this is so upsetting to people?
I'm actually very shocked to see the responses - as everyone I know uses these tactics to get more accuracy, and there's nothing remotely abusive or meaningful to us.
Maybe there are more 'ai is sentient' type people on hackernews than I realized.
Where did I imply they have feelings? I am saying that how you act toward a machine is real. As real as your behavior directed toward other humans.
Being an asshole to a machine is still being an asshole.
That doesn't make any sense. If a thing has no feelings, and an output makes it more accurate, I cannot for the life of me understand why that would make a person an asshole.
So boxing is violent. And I have chosen to box in my past. Does that mean I'm a violent person now? Even though I go out of my way to deescalate real fights?
I play games as the villain and and mass murder people in the game. Does that mean I'm a violent extremist?
