I studied Artificial Intelligence for four years, and I am not touching LLM AIs with a ten-foot pole.It's not really about the insane electricity demands, the water usage, tho that's a good reason. It's not even, if I'm honest, about the disastrous effect on the sum of all human art and knowledge.It's because a) I've studied enough AI to know it's a trick, a sort of linguistic illusion, and b) I've studied enough everything else to understand that I'm not immune to such illusions.

Do you know stage magicians say that more educated people are easier to fool, not less?I think about that a lot.LLMs are the perfect yes-men, giving the user exactly what they expect to see, making them feel clever and special.When studying my degree I came up with all these tricks to distinguish in a Turing test whether I was talking to a real intelligence or a fake one. I'm no longer certain I couldn't be charmed into thinking the AI had passed these when it hadn't.

What changed my mind? Broader study? The humility that comes with age and life experience? Maybe it's that I know I've fallen for stupid counterfactual ideas in the past. For example, for years I convinced myself that I was unloved and unwanted. That was a lie. And for decades I convinced myself I was a man. And that l, too, was a huge fucking lie.I can be so fucking stupid, it turns out.

Human beings generally are just really fucking stupid.It's the way our brains work, and it's charming in a way. We see faces in leaves, we fall for stage magic and optical illusions, we implicitly believe the Monte Carlo fallacy, we get hypnotised, we feel sorry for a Roomba that gets stuck in a corner.We're gullible and knowing that we are doesn't make us less so. I can know that the coke can in the optical illusion isn't really red, but I still see it as red.

I grew up an intelligent yet persecuted outsider. I already am very susceptible to believing I'm unique, special, a class apart from other human beings. That's the "cope" that gets you thru that sort of childhood.The more I believe I have some special level of perceptiveness that would make me immune to LLM persuasion, the more likely such persuasion is to work on me.So no. Absolutely not. Zero LLM usage for me. It's just not psychically safe.

@JeraldBlackstockBFAYou are fundamentally misunderstanding what art is. Art is not the technical capacity of reproduction of reality or of the work of an artist. That is a technician. The artist is the one that brings a human experience into the piece by means of composition, by means of symbolism and by not adhering with the reality of what is portrayed to create an experience. AI is at best a passable technician, but most of the time it is not even that @Tattie

@Tattie The vision thing, that's just organisms. We're not machines. There is no color, its all sensation. And the sensation is what's real an correct.

@cjust @Tattie to quote @jasongorman :What makes LLMs work is our tendency to see faces on toast.

@cjust @Tattie i am not immune to the ai hype though because i find myself often trying to suspiciously ask it questions to see how loose it is and what information its willing to give me and then getting stuck in an infinite cat and mouse game of interrogations from there
