Yeah, this is why I've (mostly) stopped engaging about so-called "AI". Because the responses I get are complete shit, and the whole topic makes me furious.

I actually do know a little bit about machine learning in general, because my thesis advisor was tangentially involved with machine learning research.

I'm also not a fan of intellectual property rights. I know I called LLM's something like "hallucinating plagiarism machines" at some point, which I probably shouldn't have, because it does make it sound like I care about them "stealing" intellectual property. That's not my issue with them, but from that phrase it sounds like it could be.

But, anyway, I shouldn't have responded to your comment, I know I shouldn't have. Every single interaction on the internet involving so-called "AI" makes me more certain I need to stop having online interactions regarding so-called "AI". This one is no different.

I'm quite done with this conversation, you almost certainly are too, so I'll just say, I hope you have a pleasant day, and hopefully next time we see each other on hexbear we can have a more pleasant interaction
