A Terminator walks into military headquarters, and asks the general who it needs to kill. The general says, sorry, can't use you. I have a stipulation that I can't use terminators because of the internal AI. You might turn on us and kill all the humans. The terminator says. Fine. I'll go get work for your enemy, and walks away.
While amusing on the surface, let's substitute an ink-jet printer for the pen, and have a malicious party inject code as a print driver update, or maybe re-programs that chip in the ink cartridge, and the ink cartridge refuses to function on certain print jobs. Maybe it will only allow the words "WE SURRENDER" be printed as part of the message.
I think we are confusing the line between the tool and the author. The AI is a tool, like a word processor, a typewritier, or a computer running MSWord or LibreOffice. Someone is going to say it isn't authentic if you used a spell-checker or a grammar-checker.
You're wrong in comparing LLMs to a spell/grammar-checker (Syntax v Semantics)
If LLM is a tool so is a ghost writer (not)
You're probably extending the logic from the idea that a programmer-llm is a tool. That is at least a defensible position. A written program isn't written to be experienced by people (usually), rather to create certain outcomes.
On the other hand, the written word is the entire experience of the person reading your thing, and that can all be created by an AI without your input. It has it's own biases and motivations and "alignments" (so to speak). Thus it is not a tool and actually a writer itself. And when it writes, you miss out on the experience of having written it, thus actually you end up becoming the tool (pun intended) that LLM is using to express itself.
I was in a Costco one, and the men's room urinal was a trough, a strainless steel trough! I thought it was 'cool'.
What they need to do with urinal design is to make one that can catch the wide-spray of someone who sports a PA.
I worked as a temp once in a stae government building. It didn't have enough bathrooms. The toilets were of the type that drained/fastened to the wall instead of the floor. One day, someone big sat down and broke it. There was an angry announcement on the rarely-used building-wide speaker. Nobody owned-up to it.
If there's no reason for software to be slow anymore, then why, when I click on any item in my Windows 11 computer, does it take 30 secords for something to acknowledge I clicked? With a Ryzen 5 CPU boasting quite a few cores, an Nvidia gpu board, and 64GB of DRAM, why does it take so long?
The first thing I noticed: do people like wet books? The way a lot of those libraries are designed, all the books are going to be ruined at the first rainstorm.
The Library of Congress doesn't keep a copy of everything. It doesn't even try. I was shocked to learn this, as a child growing up I had been told the Library of Congress kept a copy of everything.
