> if they want to prevent people from using LLMs on their software, then they should be able to do so without being unfairly attacked

They are of course free to wish whatever they like, but also rightfully deserve — and have earned — steadfast mockery.

It's like the space program banning computers and going back to chalk and black ladies doing long division because programmers might make mistakes.

It's not that I am against LLM because I'm using them, but I get sick of reading that mentality of AI-must-learn-from-everything-and-if-you're-against-you're-against-progress.

It's an incredible yet immature technology, and (too much IMO) people want to use it for everything without asking themselves any question. There was and still is a whole world of technology and knowledge before AI/LLM that left us teachings, laws, technologies that we must live with. Some of these things are here for good and maybe others for bad reasons.

In any case you should take your time to understand why something is there before blindly disagreeing with it. That's what moves discussion forward.

You got a really thoughtful comment, and you reply with the most bizarre case of false equivalence I've read in a couple of days...
