  "transcript": "I feel the online space is now dominated by two voices in particular:\n\n1. The AI slop that we usually see i.e. YouTube Shorts, online written text, LinkedIn posts, even Reddit posts. I consider such people extremely lazy. They have delegated their critical thinking, and whatever little thinking they did previously, to these LLMs.\n2. The anti-AI crowd that's still living in 2022 and believes that AI is good for nothing. There are many logical fallacies at play in their arguments. These critics have reduced LLMs to mere predictive machines, and their understanding of hallucination or their focus on these models hallucinating is more pronounced than the actual state of the models. They often display moral superiority about not using AI, even at the cost of their time. In reality, I believe it’s not about being genuinely competent, but about **showing** that they are competent. \n\n  \nThe two voices above are so dominating that people who are cautiously curious about these LLMs, or who want to actually build, try out, and test their limits, have their voices completely diminished.   \n  \nIt's also ironic that subreddits like r/technology are so opposed to anything related to technology that even a neutral voice about the performance of these LLMs and how they can be embedded in people's workflows gets canceled out, leaving a narrative that anything related to AI is trash.\n\nThere are genuinely so few spaces left where people are curious about these technologies, not from a marketing or sales perspective, but to understand how they can transform lives and help with daily tasks. Even in tech spaces focused on AI, you quickly find them filling up with a crowd that only wants to sell you something, market products that are supposedly \"life-changing,\" and it’s incredibly annoying.\n\nThese models have actually transformed the way in which all of us work. They've been helpful, and there are obvious issues every now and then, the responses may not be perfect. But when you think about the past three years, we've come so far. \n\nHowever, all we have in this space now is AI slop or pure negativity.\n\n\n\n--- Top Comments ---\n\n\n[47 upvotes] I’d wager most people are already seeing a good amount of skilled use of AI put to work, but don’t know it, as you aren’t able to distinguish it from something normal that took effort… because it  *did* take effort.\n\nGood use of AI isn’t going to announce itself. \n\n[43 upvotes] The average person doesn’t seem curious about anything, to be honest. \n\n[19 upvotes] Can I be the third voice? I’ve stared into the void, know exactly how powerful this is going to be (and already is), then promptly lost my SWE job directly at its hands and (will eventually lose) the ability to pay for my basic needs. I’m anti-AI, but not in group 2 at all.",
