Uh, duh? I’m trying to draw a distinction that the person isn’t doing the work, the LLM is.
> On the contrary, it is a great way to induce animosity.
Sorry, what had you under the impression I was trying to make friends? When people who suck show up to your spot, you make them go away by making it clear they’re not welcome.
What if you're the one that sucks?

Not expecting you to build friendships or to appease people, just to obey fundamental principles of productive communication, like:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cooperative_principle
But I mean sure, if you want to troll and annoy people (because you feel morally justified in doing so, or for any other arbitrary reason), definitely a choice. Nothing I can actually do to stop you, hence why I just asked instead.
Also like, I'd expect someone who wants people to hold a different position to make that position compelling to hold. Not being an ass about it is generally nice to have for that. Do you disagree?

Except you were not making things clear. On the contrary, you were pretending that there was ambiguity in their words. This is a very cowardly and sly way to make any point.
If you find their mere presence frustrating, the downvote and flag buttons are both available. Sure beats wasting time, and pretending to be open for a conversation.
