Hi! It's me, the guy you discussed this with the other day! The guy that said Lemmy is full of AI wet blankets.

Omg you found me in another post. I’m not even mad; I do like how passionate you are about things.

Since there isn't any room for nuance on the Internet, my comment seemed to ruffle feathers. There are definitely some folks out there that act like ALL AI is worthless and LLMs specifically have no value. I provided a list of use cases that I use pretty frequently where it can add value. (Then folks started picking it apart with strawmen).

What you’re talking about is polarization and yeah, it’s a big issue.

This is a good example, I never did any strawman nor disagree with the fact that it can be useful in some shape or form. I was trying to say its value is much much lower than what people claim to be.

But that’s the issue with polarization, me saying there is much less value can be interpreted as absolute zero, and I apologize for contributing to the polarization.
