In the very, very slight defense, it is a lot cheaper to shovel than to pave, and the person shoveling probably isn't the same person making the decision about whether it gets paved.

They didn't say it required documentation, they said it had plenty of documentation should you need it.

I have no need to use LLMs or other generative AI, and I have no desire to use them just because.

For creative outlets, it isn't satisfying to me to use a tool that will instantly complete the task. If I'm prepping for a TTRPG session I would rather come up with the content myself, or use a random generator to give several ideas to build off of. I don't have artistic skills, but I have more fulfilment from the basic drawings I can do, and for anything more complex I'll just find something that comes closest to what I imagined as a visual aid.

For non-creative work, I can't trust the results of an LLM to be factual. If I need to check the sources and confirm the output anyway, I might as well skip that step and just read the original sources myself. Or, use Wikipedia and other wiki sites as a quick reference for basic information and links to more detailed sources.

If I was working in a field that had to sit through large data sets or complex equations, I probably would look at machine learning models. But I don't, so I have no need for it.

Genuine question, for people that regularly use AI (LLMs), why? What do you get out of it that makes you return to it again? Is it just convenience?

If you don't think your cat loves you, then your cat probably doesn't think you respect them.

Not saying there is a wrong direction to face while riding an elevator (without further context), but it always just made sense to me to face the door you expect to open when the elevator gets to the floor you're traveling to. Like, nothing stops you from facing sideways on a moving sidewalk, but facing the direction you intend to go when the ride is over is more convenient.

It's a nice thing to do?

The pulp is from fruit, right? The pulp is from fruit, right!?

Yeah, the problem isn't that the big trucks exist. There is a place for them, always will be. But they shouldn't be a commuter vehicle, the majority of owners never use them for their intended purpose, and even those that do need a truck rarely need one of the size they get.

At least the numbers are sequential there, though...

You realize the comment you are replying to does not actually support acting that way, but is ridiculing people who actually hold that viewpoint, right?
