I think the bigger problem is that each answer it gives basically destroys a forest
To be fair: "For each answer it gives", nah. You can run a model on your home computer even. It might not be so bad if we just had an established model and asked it questions.
The "forest destroying" is really in training those models.
Of course at this point I guess it's just semantics, because as long as it gets used, those companies are gonna be non-stop training those stupid models until they've created a barren wasteland and there's nothing left....
So yeah, overall pretty destructive and it sucks...
That, and it's filling once-useful search engines with useless and even dangerous gibberish.
Yeah, that's a big one. Search engines had been getting worse, but the decline was turbocharged after all the LLM hype. Search engines are practically unusable now
LLMs, in their primary and most common uses, are planet-burning trash, but the important thing is the contrarian in this thread found a way to feel superior to those that don't like when material conditions get worse.
Okay that's a valid point and one so far nobody comes up with. Congrats
