An earnest question about the AI/LLM hate (infosec.pub)

Hello, recent Reddit convert here and I'm loving it. You even inspired me to figure out how to fully dump Windows and install LineageOS.

One thing I can't understand is the level of acrimony toward LLMs. I see things like "stochastic parrot", "glorified autocomplete", etc. If you need an example, the comments section for the post on Apple saying LLMs don't reason is a doozy of angry people: https://infosec.pub/post/29574988

While I didn't expect a community of vibecoders, I am genuinely curious about why LLMs strike such an emotional response with this crowd. It's a tool that has gone from interesting (GPT3) to terrifying (Veo 3) in a few years and I am personally concerned about many of the safety/control issues in the future.

So I ask: what is the real reason this is such an emotional topic for you in particular? My personal guess is that the claims about replacing software engineers is the biggest issue, but help me understand.

Are you fucking Moses? Then how the fuck did you manage to turn your Windows Machine into an android phone?

is the level of acrimony toward LLMs.

Good, since you apparantly arent able to use your brain, I'm gonna speed run it real quick:

  • Its frying the planet
  • its generating way to much slop, making anyone unable to find true non hallucinated information
  • its a literal PsyOP
  • it's rotting peoples critical thinking
  • its being shoved down everyone's throat, tho it can't even generate simple things.
  • people are using it to slood FOSS projects.

such an emotional response with this crowd.

Its not emotional, its just having the same negative experience over and over and over again

It's a tool that has gone from interesting (GPT3) to terrifying

The only thing that's terrifying about it us peoples brain rotting away their critical thinking
