    AI

    Pick one. It is not a real person. It does not think critically, reason, rationalize, or anything. It takes your input, determines (from its LLM training data) the most statistically likely correct answer, and spits it out. It doesn’t know what it’s saying, it doesn’t know if it’s correct, and it also doesn’t care.

    LLMs are not people. Stop anthropomorphizing them.
















  • By using an older piece of tech that does one thing, you make doing that thing an activity again. As in, it’s a conscious involvement to do that thing now, it’s not just an app or a side feature of some other device.

    For instance, I got an iPod Nano a little while ago and just loaded it with the few hundred songs I care to listen to. I use a fraction of the space of the thing if I care to add more music, but now when I want to listen to music I have to use a specific device to do so. It makes it more of a conscious decision to listen to music and, to me, makes me enjoy it more.
