    ‘Everyone anywhere’? That’s an amazingly broad statement. What’re you defining as ‘using one’? If I use ChatGPT to rewrite a paragraph, should I be fired? What about if a non native speaker uses it to remove grammatical errors from an email, should they be fired? How about using it for assisting with coding errors? Or generating draft product marketing copy? Or summarising content for third parties to make it easier to understand? Still a fireable offence? How about generating insights from data? Assistance with Roadmap prioritisation? Generating summaries of meeting notes or presentations? Helping users with learning disabilities understand complex information? Or helping them with letters, emails etc? How about if it use it to remind me of tasks? Or managing my routines?

      Don’t you be bringing nuance into this.

      If you used an LLM to find that mistyped variable name, you deserve to lose your job. You and your family must suffer.

      If you are blind and you use a screen reader with some AI features, you should be fired and that tech needs to be taken from you. You must suffer. Should think twice before being blind, you disabled fuck.

      Honestly we should just kill them, even. In a very painful and torturous way. AI bad.

        There’s a difference between using LLMs to edit text, provide ideas or give you information that you can double check because you have the subject matter experience. Relying on it as a substitute for skill when something important is at stake like someone’s well being is reckless at best.

          Sure, but the original quote was:

          Everyone anywhere using one on the job should be fired

          There’s no nuance there it’s just AI = bad. I agree that it’s shouldn’t, in its current form, be used as a substitute for skill in important situations. You’re totally right there.

            I never said AI = bad. AI is much broader and contains worthwhile and non-plagiarized approaches.

            If it’s worth doing, do it properly.

              No you did say that.

              Everyone anywhere using one on the job should be fired

              You said anyone using an AI in any capacity should be fired. I have heard infinitely better takes from 4-year-olds and why they need more ice cream.

                This is on a post about chatgpt use. Chatgpt is from the set of llms, which is a subset of ai.

                Ai is cool. The current batch of LLMs/PISS can leave.

                  You want anybody using LLMs in any capacity to lose their livelihoods. That’s very much a “AI bad” take with zero nuance.

          That’s not what was said. What was said was anybody using it in any capacity for any job should be fired.

          Which is obviously a very, very stupid take.
