Ah yes tools are poison, you're very intelligent.

[–] arcine@jlai.lu 3 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Okay then eat an entire screwdriver.

when you definitely know how tools work

[–] Feathercrown@lemmy.world 3 points 6 days ago

They certainly know how they taste

Something becomes a tool through usage though. So, LLMs can be a tool just as anything else when we put out mind to it.

[–] Feathercrown@lemmy.world 1 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Yes. My point is that it being a tool does not prevent it from being a poison. Your argument is flawed.

[–] yogthos@lemmy.ml 1 points 6 days ago (1 children)

What part of my argument is flawed, nothing I said is contrary to your statement.

[–] Feathercrown@lemmy.world 1 points 6 days ago (1 children)

If you don't have an issue with something being both a poison and a tool then how does your original response make sense?

[–] yogthos@lemmy.ml 1 points 6 days ago

Plenty of tools can be dangerous when used improperly. For example, bleach is very useful for cleaning, but I would advice against drinking it.

tools are poison

Not what they said. I know it's probably been a while, but dust off that critical thinking hat for a moment.

I'm being dead serious. It seems like your ability to grasp basic logic is suffering.

[–] yogthos@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 week ago (2 children)
[–] prole@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Ok so then you admit that your logic there was faulty?

lol no, I'm simply dismissing you
