    It doesn’t, who the hell cares if someone allowed it to break “predict whole text” into "predict part by part, and then “with rhyme, we start at the end”. Sounds like a naive (not as in “simplistic”, but as “most straightforward”) way to code this, so given the task to write an automatic poetry producer, I would start with something similar. The whole thing still stands as fancy auto-complete

        Redditor as “a person active on Reddit”? I don’t see where I was talking about humans. Or am I misunderstanding the question?

          This dumbass is convinced that humans are chatbots likely because chatbots are his only friends.

            Sounds scary. I read a story the other day about a dude who really got himself a discord server with chatbots, and that was his main place of “communicating” and “socializing”

              This anecdote has the makings of a “men will literally x instead of going to therapy” joke.

              On a more serious note though, I really wish people would stop anthropomorphisizing these things, especially when they do it while dehumanizing people and devaluing humanity as a whole.

              But that’s unlikely to happen. It’s the same type of people that thought the mind was a machine in the first industrial revolution, and then a CPU in the third…now they think it’s an LLM.

              LLMs could have some better (if narrower) applications if we could stop being so stupid as to inject them into places where they are obviously counterproductive.
