GrapheneOS is currently defending its use of AI coding tools on Mastodon against complaints by various accounts claiming to be users.

We do not understand where you're coming from or why you're so incredibly angry with us. It's not justified and does not make sense.

Well, tbh, if someone has an opinion that isn't swayable by facts, why should I take that person seriously? It's like talking with religious nutjobs. They already have all "answers".

The facts are clear, relatively simple, and accessible by everyone. And "evil" is generally considered bad. But LLMs are not just "that precise one thing" that could be declared evil. It's a concept. The application of it changes the good/evil attribution. Chatbot? Obviously bad. Helping to determine cancer in a Patient? Good. Etc.

If people don't WANT to argue because they already joined a "AI is the devil"-cult, so be it. Not my job to convince anyone of anything 😊

And that's the nonsense about it. We're not talking about cars or such, but a general concept. And most likely take one or two specific applications of it and use it as a definition of the thing itself. And even with cars you couldn't condemned them because tanks exists, and ignore ambulances or such.

Also, it's usually the exact same group that also mostly uses products of what they hate so much. Microsoft, google, Facebook or any us-american bigtec. If LLMs would be as bad as they say it is, stop funding it. Simple. Really really simple. I don't use any of those, so it's possible to actually protest besides big word and vote by wallet.
