dumpsterqueer, we gotta stop calling LLMs "ai" you gays:
- there's nothing intelligent about it; it's literally not "AI" at all, in the same way that throwing darts completely randomly at a board and occasionally hitting triple 20, then optimizing for that, isn't "playing darts"
- it validates the marketing work done by total asshole shills; it's giving them oxygen
- makes it sound way cooler than it is, and makes people working on it sound way smarter than they are (didn't we learn this lesson with blockchain? They're dickhead, world-burning capitalist charlatans all the way down)
So instead of "ai" I propose we start calling large language models "ugg", for "unwanted garbage generator".
Advantages of "ugg":
- sounds like something a caveman would say
- can be grunted in frustration
- emphasizes that it's fucking garbage
Thank you!
