Rachel Brindle<p>A director at work reached out to me, asking if I was interested in giving a talk promoting the use of GitHub copilot (I was asked because I had been enrolled in an optional GitHub copilot training series, even though I never attended any of the trainings).</p><p>I am, explicitly anti-llm, and I said as much, citing quality, plagiarism, their resource usage, etc.<br>Interestingly, this person said he found this perspective of interest to him because he hadn’t heard of these concerns before. He said he’d schedule time for us to go over this more in-depth. I hope this was something said in good faith.</p><p>Now, lazyweb, what sources do you have for a lot of these concerns and claims? Like, where does the claim that “a 100-200 word response from ChatGPT uses about 2 water bottles of water” come from?<br>That Microsoft paper about how llms make us think less critically is also great, and I already have a link to that.</p><p>Thanks!<br><a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/llm" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>llm</span></a> <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/AntiLLM" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>AntiLLM</span></a></p>
