even better, maintain an account that’s complete lies to throw off their algorithm

(don’t do this - your life matters)

I understand where you’re coming from, but I don’t agree it’s about semantics; it’s about devaluation of communication. LLMs and their makers threaten that in multiple ways. Thinking of it as “lying” is one of them.

and here’s the instructions for future reference …

as I understand it, you’re saying the web was attacked by SEO, and that sounds entirely correct, but I don’t follow how that means AI isn’t also killing the web.

tbh I don’t have the energy to contribute meaningfully to this conversation so I’ll stop before I say something silly

I’m not sure I can think of an example beyond lack of software/driver support

General difficulty of use (i.e. how many things do I have to read and do for something to happen the way I want)

And I want libraries to be officially supported, whatever that looks like, mainly so I don’t have to use workarounds or unverified sources (I don’t want to be using lots of Arch’s equivalent of PPAs, for example)

it would be nice if you’re right. I don’t know enough to comment. But I don’t have confidence in market forces, for very good reason. My concern is that bad will be replaced by worse

my distro has Polish, but translated into English cos I can’t read Polish. Very user-friendly

why do you say it’s not killing the web? How many people are on lemmy because of the enshitiffication of privately owned social media?

I’m not trusting a regex written by AI

I don’t understand your point. How is it good that the developers thought they were faster? Does that imply anything at all in LLMs’ favour? IMO that makes the situation worse because we’re not only fighting inefficiency, but delusion.

20% slower is substantial. Imagine the effect on the economy if 20% of all output was discarded (or more accurately, spent using electricity).

I honestly don’t believe it’s snarky. I think a lot of us have had enough of this corporate AI hype bullshit
