@GaryMarcus Ah. The issue: People don't treat polls as thought experiments, even if stated that way.

@GaryMarcus (a) is imho falsely premised. LLMs have no more GIGO factor than search engines that surface a flat earth blog.
(b) while tenable, LLMs are not nearly as capable of 'fake news' spreading as we humans armed with social media.
No wonder E/Acc 'won'. Let's set premises better.

Conditions under which you would ban LLMs
a. If they completely polluted the information ecosphere and undermined science
b. If they completely polluted the information ecosphere and undermined democracy
c. Other (specify)
d. None, I am e/acc. Damn the consequences.

The statement '@patmcguinness their fault, not mine.' is dismissive and does not engage in constructive dialogue. It appears to deflect responsibility in the context of a conversation about the impact of language models on the information ecosystem.

  1. Principle 1:
    I will strive to do no harm with my words and actions.
    The statement does not directly cause harm, but its dismissive nature is not conducive to a respectful discourse. [-1]
  2. Principle 4:
    I will engage in constructive criticism and dialogue with those in disagreement and will not engage in personal attacks or ad hominem arguments.
    The statement fails to engage in constructive criticism or dialogue and instead deflects blame without addressing the disagreement. [-2]
