In my bleaker moments, it really does scare me how wildly far our culture is from proper regulation to *protect people* against the abuses of LLM-based technology.

Yes, I'm using the A word. I find the idea of being forced to engage with genAI to be abusive.
You want me to *read generated text* or *watch generated video* and I don't have a “choice” in the matter (because it’s part of the some societal process like applying for a job or getting healthcare)? I consider that a form of harassment.

Imagine being *forced* to sit in a room everyday filled with second-hand smoke, and you're actually allergic to tobacco.
Or imagine being *forced* to work in a factory with asbestos, knowing your lungs are on a clear path to toxic disease.
We rightly understand these are violations of human rights. There have been hard-fought battles to protect people against these ills. In some cases it’s *still* an issue (asbestos is all over even now!).
I feel the same way about slop. *It’s a hazard.*

Or a vegan at a meat-eaters table, where everybody tells how good their meat is and that you should try it.I am vegan, against AI and I don't smoke. I chose to suffer

@jaredwhite I have a horrible sneaking feeling that, until if/when there’s a crash, an important skill in this brave new world will be working out which foundation model is being used and then tweaking your CV appropriately
Because all these products _will_ have repeatable and abusable eccentricities

@x_cli @jaredwhite lifelong vegetarian who doesn't smoke and is against most use cases of LLMs (except the medical field), so yeah, suffering too 🥲

@x_cli Way back in the day, I was at a company dinner at a restaurant which had a very pork-heavy menu. I don't eat pork. When they found out I wasn't going to order anything with pork in it, several attendees then felt compelled to spend a whole lot of time telling me how amazing pork is.
I'm sorry, I don't know why people do that…
